of some of the most lucrative literary prizes in America. Called the Donald Windham-Sandy M. Campbell Literature Prizes, they will be given annually starting in late 2012 or early 2013, with seven to nine grants of $150,000 each awarded to playwrights and writers of fiction and nonfiction. Awards for poetry may be added later at the discretion of the awards committee.
The endowment for the prizes comes from the estate of the writer Donald Windham, who died in May 2010.
