Greensboro’s Evan Fackler Wins the Doris Betts Fiction Prize

January 9, 2025.

De’Shawn Charles Winslow selected Fackler’s work from 10 finalists, saying, “In the unputdownable pages of ‘IDPs,’ readers will encounter displacement, benevolence, family, community and love. Not only does this writer tell a heart-string-tugging story, they do so with an arresting narrative voice that is perfectly sustained from the first sentence to the last. I look forward to what this talented artist has in store for us.”
