Ms. Gallant was a finalist in the 1991 PEN Syndicated Fiction Project and has won the New Century Writer's Award in 1999, 2001, 2002, and 2003. She has been a finalist for the Grand Prize in the William Faulkner Literary Competition for the last 21 years and in 2008 won Special Honorable Mention in the Essay category. In 2018, her book made the finals and her poetry was up for grand prize in the William Faulkner, William Wisdom Literary Competition.
She was co-moderator of the National Writers Union on-line Literary Forum and runs a workshop for professional writers. Ms. Gallant has just completed a book of literary nonfiction shorts called, "Holding On To Right-Side Up," a title born out of the shocking revelation - gratuitously told to her by her father when she was only six years old - "that the Earth is a turning sphere and half the time we are upside down, held on only by gravity." |
