Eccles Centre & Hay Festival Writer's Award

The Eccles Centre & Hay Festival Writer's Award is given annually to two writers to support their work on a forthcoming book, either fiction or non-fiction, relating to the Americas. It is supported by the Hay Festival and the British Library's Eccles Centre for American Studies. The winners each receive £20,000, divided into four quarterly grants, and have a research residency at the Eccles Centre, with curatorial support, and opportunities to promote their work at Hay Festival events in the UK and elsewhere. The award was previously known as the Eccles British Library Writer in Residence Award and the Eccles British Library Writers Award.
