Santa Fe Writer's Project

The Santa Fe Writers Project was founded in 1998 by Andrew Gifford. The goal, then and now, was to offer recognition for excellence in writing in a time of declining support for writers and the craft of literature. What started as a grass-roots trial effort supported by a small group of writers and arts advocates in Santa Fe, has since spawned an internationally recognized literary awards program and an on-line literary journal fueled by a community of authors who are organized around the Project’s goals and ideas.
