Hats Off! to Kate Bullard Adams whose manuscript Hang Me the Moon was named a runner-up for The William Faulkner – William Wisdom Creative Writing Competition (Novel/Book Length Fiction). In her comments, final judge Cynthia Grau of Spiegel & Grau said, "In exploring the emotional fragility of young women on the cusp of adulthood, Hang Me the Moon beautifully captures the in-betweenness of being during a time of political, social, and racial turmoil," an "affecting novel of both ideas and emotions."
