''It was the late Donald Windham’s wish in establishing these prizes to call attention to literary achievement and provide writers with time, space and freedom. This mission remains at the heart of the Windham-Campbell Prizes, and in today’s world it is more vital than ever to recognize and support the crucial work and wisdom that writers share with us all'' - Michael Kelleher (@pblossomhwy ), Director of the Windham Campbell Prizes.
The Prizes are administered by @Yale University’s @BeineckeLibrary
