Marilyn Brown Novel Award

Marilyn Brown Novel Award

The Marilyn Brown Novel Award is an occasional award given to the best unpublished novel focusing on realistic cultural experiences of the Utah Region submitted for consideration. The award includes a $1000 honorarium.[1]

The award was founded by Marilyn Brown and her husband to encourage quality fiction focused on regional Mormon experience. Beginning in 2000, the award was presented every other year by the Association for Mormon Letters. Beginning with the 2009 award, the Utah Valley University's English Department has stewardship over the award. They have broadened the award's scope to all fiction about the Utah region and intend to make it an annual award. The award has a $30000 endowment.[2]
