The Tuscany Prize for Catholic Fiction is a literary prize to promote writers and great undiscovered stories of Catholic fiction. What is Catholic fiction? Stories infused with the presence of God and faith — subtly, symbolically or deliberately.
Flannery O’Connor, Graham Greene or G. K. Chesterton and many others whose writings reflected the thoughts of great writers such as Gerard Manley Hopkins: “The world is charged with the grandeur of God.”
This is the “stuff” of literature that wins the Tuscany Prize.
