AN
INVITATION TO JUNIORS
Wesleyan Writing Program’s
ANNIE
SONNENBLICK WRITING AWARD
Applications due
Friday, March 31, 2006
We welcome applications for the Annie Sonnenblick
Writing Award, given annually to a member of the junior class who shows
unusual promise in creative writing.
The Sonnenblick family has established this Award in
memory of Annie Sonnenblick, a member of the Wesleyan class of 1980, who
took great pleasure in literature and the creative arts. The winner will be
a student whose interests and talents reflect Annie Sonnenblick’s spirit.
Applicants should propose a writing project to be
completed during the summer between their junior and senior years. Previous
winners have written short fiction, collections of poetry, and nonfiction
projects such as biographical sketches and studies of places. The Award
provides funding of up to $1,500 to support the project and the writer’s
summer living expenses. The completed project is due on the first day of
the fall semester.
To Apply for the Writing Award:
Submit four neatly packaged copies of the
following material, each pack with a cover sheet:
1) a cover sheet giving your name, campus box number,
telephone number, and email address;
2) a personal statement introducing yourself and
explaining your background and interests;
3) a description of the writing project you will
undertake, including brief but specific comments about writers whose works
are important to you;
4) a budget estimating the support you will need;
5) samples of your writing;
6) your resume;
7) a copy of your transcript (either the official or
unofficial version will do); and
8) names of one or two
references: provide email address and telephone number.
Applications are due at Anne Greene’s office,
