2021 Frances Mims-
​Paul Talmadge Literary Advocacy Award

For the 2021 Frances Mims-Paul Talmadge Literary Advocacy Award,  we recognize an individual for her tireless and unparalleled contributions to the literary community and the citizens of South Carolina. An individual who has been dear to the hearts of South Carolinians for several decades, a true champion for bringing the literary arts to the under-represented communities of our state, and a dear, dear friend to so many writers, poets, and playwrights who have benefited from her direction, advice and counsel. We could not think of a more deserving recipient of the 2021 Frances Mims-Paul Talmadge Literary Advocacy Award, the first recipient of this award, than Sara June Goldstein, for whom we all owe a tremendous amount of gratitude, appreciation, and the most earnest affection. Congratulations, Sara June!
