OverviewThe Million Writers Award was founded by author Jason Sanford in 2003 at a time when the literary establishment "didn't believe online magazines were legitimate places to publish fiction," seeing it as a fad.[4] Sanford set out to honor and highlite online only publications and stories with the award. Stories eligible for the award include those first published in online literary journals, magazines, and e-zines that have an editorial process.[3] The award has a variable cash prize, in 2011 for example it was $600 for the winner, $200 for the runner-up and $100 for third place.[4] Prize money is raised through donations from writers, editors and readers and thus fluctuates each year.[4] Anyone can nominate up to one story, while editors and publishers can nominate three stories. Stories must be at least 1000 words.[4] The award has become one of the premier online literary awards and was named a Hot Site by USA Today.[5] The award was profiled in a six-page feature interview with editor Jason Sanford in the 2005 Novel and Short Story Writer's Market[6] and mentioned in The 100 Best Trends, 2006: Emerging Developments You Can't Afford to Ignore as an example of the emerging online literary movement.[7] In 2012 Spotlight Publishing released two anthologies of stories from the Million Writers Award, with one focused on literary stories and the other on science fiction and fantasy stories.[8][9][10] WinnersPrevious winners.[11] 2003
