Miami Book Fair/de Groot Prize

The Miami Book Fair/de Groot Prize, a critical resource of the cultural literary landscape, was established to discover and encourage talented unpublished authors. Three finalists are selected each cycle; winners of the juried competition receive prizes that include cash awards, publication support, and an expense-paid trip to read from their work at Miami Book Fair’s November event.

We created the MBF/de Groot Prize to fan the flame in emerging writers who yearn to be published. For some, the competition offers an incentive to give form to a story that has been floating in the back of their mind. Others will want to complete that half-finished manuscript lying in a drawer or reshape their unpublished novel into a novella. We want the prize to bring out the best in new authors who have a story that needs to be heard. Stay tuned for future information about the prize.
