In the past three years, Dactyl Foundation has concentrated on developing the literary fiction\u00a0community, which has dwindled over the past twenty years as publishing houses began to focus on big sellers ignoring the niche market of fine literature.<\/p>\n

\n

In 2010, we launched\u00a0Dactyl Review, a community of literary fiction writers who review literary fiction and nominate works for Dactyl Foundation\u2019s $1000 annual prize.\u00a0 The contest is open to any living literary fiction writer, regardless of date of publication or type of publication. We are especially interested in books that came out some time ago and have not yet received the recognition they deserve.<\/p>\n

This year we decided to award two prizes.\u00a0 We are pleased to announce that the first award goes to\u00a0The Double Life of Alfred Buber<\/em><\/a> by David Schmahmann, published in 2011 by The Permanent Press. \u00a0The second award goes to\u00a0Cocoa Almond Darling<\/a> <\/em>by Jeffra Hays, self-published in 2011 on Kindle.<\/p>\n
