Áine Greaney selected Adjustment Disorder: A Collection of Maladjusted Essays by Patrick Mondaca as the 2020 winner. Patrick will receive $1,000, publication with our fall 2019 titles including distribution with Casemate Group, and 50 author copies. We offer him our heartiest congratulations!
We also offer congratulations to the two finalists:
Cindy Skaggs of Falcon, Colorado, for her collection: Invisible Me: A Memoir in Essays
Anatoly Molotkov of Portland, Oregon, for his collection: A Broken Russia Inside Me: Essays on Place
Áine said this when she let us know about the winner/finalists: “There were some that were really breathtaking. So it was a very tough choice, with the toughest part of all being which of the final ten to shortlist down to the final three.”
