The Kentucky Writers Hall of Fame was created to recognize Kentucky writers whose work reflects the character and culture of our commonwealth, and to educate Kentuckians about our state’s rich literary heritage. For a writer to have been eligible this year, they must be 1) published; 2) someone whose writing is of enduring stature; and 3) someone connected in a significant way to the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Inductees are chosen by committees at the Carnegie Center and the Kentucky Arts Council that include some of Kentucky’s well-known writers. Nominations are accepted from the public.
