Irene Adler Prize
$1,000
The Irene Adler Prize — $1,000 Scholarship Supporting Women Writers
Intro
Writing has opened doors and taken me to extraordinary places: from Sweden to South Africa, from covering the Golden Globes to the women’s Olympic hockey final.

It feels right to give something back.
