Competing for 2018 Publication Prizes

The MLA Committee on Honors and Awards invites authors and editors to compete for the association’s 2018 publication awards. In addition to the James Russell Lowell Prize and the MLA Prize for a First Book, which have a 1 March deadline, eleven annual and fourteen biennial MLA prizes honor outstanding work in languages, literatures, interdisciplinary studies, and specific genres (e.g., translation, bibliography, scholarly edition). Information on the individual prizes, their deadlines, and the submission process is available online. You may also request detailed information on any MLA prize by contacting the office of programs (awards@mla.org).
