Events

edit

Fourteen Hills also hosts a number of literary events each year. The most awaited is the Fourteen Hills release party. Last year, Stephen Elliott gave a reading at the release, which was met with much enthusiasm. This year too Fourteen Hills will host a number of literary events. An upcoming event is the release of Fourteen Hills' Fiction anthology- New Standards. The event will be held at SFSU's Poetry Center and will feature authors like Peter Orner, Nona Caspers, Eireene Nealand and John Cleary.

Fourteen Hills and SFSU administer the Stacy Doris Memorial Poetry Award, named after late writing professor Stacy Doris. The prize, which was first awarded in 2014, awards the winning poet with a $500 prize and publication in the Spring issue of Fourteen Hills.[3]
