Dixon Ryan Fox Manuscript Prize Seeks Submissions

The New York State Historical Association publications department has begun a call for submissions for the 2014 Dixon Ryan Fox Prize.

The Dixon Ryan Fox Manuscript Prize is awarded annually to the author of the best unpublished, book-length monograph dealing with some aspect of the history of New York State. Manuscripts may deal with any aspect of New York State history.

Manuscripts may not have been accepted for final publication at the time of submission to the New York State Historical Association. Biographies of individuals whose careers illuminate aspects of the history of the state are eligible, as are manuscripts dealing with such cultural matters as literature and the arts, provided that in such cases the methodology is historical. Works of fiction and works of article length are not eligible.

The $3,000 award winner is announced annually in mid-June. More information and submission guidelines can be found online.
