FAQs

Can I apply for the Miller Award?

No, you most certainly can not apply, don’t even bother trying. Just write the novel of the decade, we’ll come knocking.

Who sits on this mysterious committee?

Membership is Triple Top Secret.

Do committee members accept bribes?

Bribes are strictly forbidden.

Gifts, however, such as precious gems, snacks, intoxicants, heck, even a puppy, would definitely attract our attention.

Where’s my statue?

If you won the Miller Award after 1970 but have yet to receive your solid-gold statue, please be patient. The damn thing is around here somewhere, and is bound to turn up sooner or later. If you won the Miller Award prior to 1970, we, umm, have some not great news. The ship carrying the diamond-encrusted treasure encountered pirates and stormy seas, not to mention the mutinous crew—trust me, we’ll never use Craigslist to recruit sailors ever again—and is, let’s just say, MIA.

Which is more prestigious, the Nobel Prize for Literature or the Miller Award for Novel of the Decade?

Obviously, the freaking Miller is way more prestigious.

Ten times more prestigious, to be precise.
