Silver Pen Award

The Silver Pen Award was established as part of the Nevada Writers Hall of Fame in 1996 to recognize writers who are in mid-career, but have already shown substantial achievement. It is seen as a way of both honoring this talent and also encouraging other writers, both emerging and in mid-career. As Nevada writers, it is hoped that through outstanding work they would one day be inducted into the Nevada Writers Hall of Fame.
