FAC Instructor Wins Award/Book to Be Published
Fine
Arts Center Creative Writing Instructor Sarah Blackman is the 2011
winner of the Ronald Sukenick American Book Review Innovative Fiction
Prize for her short story collection
Mother Box. The book, a collection of 11 stories and one
novella, will be published by independent press Fiction Collective 2, an imprint of the University of Alabama Press, in August 2013. FC2 was founded in 1974 with the specific mission
to find, publish and keep in print ficton that defines itself as
innovative or experimental in form, that bends the rules of the genre
and doesn't bind itself by considerations of the publisher's bottom
line. An author run and managed collective, FC2 has grown
from six founding members to over 100 today, including such leading
figures in American innovative fiction as Kate Bernheimer, Michael
Martone, Diane Williams, Noy Holland and Lance Olson.
