"Wordharvest supports authors and encourages great writing"- Anne Hillerman and Jean Schaumberg
What is Wordharvest?
Founded by Anne Hillerman and Jean Schaumberg in 2002, WORDHARVEST is devoted to the art and craft of writing. From our headquarters in Santa Fe, New Mexico, we celebrate the legacy of iconic mystery author Tony Hillerman with two writing contests: the Tony Hillerman Prize for first mystery novel, and the Tony Hillerman Mystery Short Story Contest.
We also sponsor the Tony Hillerman Writers Conference—a three-day workshop offering how-to advice on writing techniques and the business of writing. Session topics range from publishing e-books to writing fiction and non-fiction. The Conference provides an intimate environment to get feedback and critiques about your writing, network with literary agents and editors, and find writing inspiration.
