The William F. Laman Public Library System in Little Rock has awarded Davis McCombs, director of our program, its 2013 Laman Library Writers Fellowship!
Each year, this fellowship provides a grant of up to $10,000 to an Arkansas author to support the work of writing and publishing. Previous fellows are Kevin Brockmeier, adult novelist and children’s author; Grif Stockley, author of six legal novels and several non-fiction books on race relations in Arkansas; and Mara Leveritt, true crime journalist and author.
McCombs is the author of the collections Ultima Thule, which won the 1999 Yale Younger Poets prize, and Dismal Rock.
