Salem College Center for Women Writers


The Center for Women Writers is a literary arts organization based at Salem College in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The Center for Women Writers was established in 1996, which coincided with the 225th anniversary of the opening of Salem Academy & College. The first director was Annette Allen. In addition to hosting literary arts events, the Center for Women Writers underwrites an annual January Term Writer-in-Residence and manages the International Literary Awards, initially called the National Literary Awards. These awards include the Reynolds Price Short Fiction Award, Rita Dove Poetry Award, and the Penelope Niven Creative Nonfiction Award.
