John Lescroart established the Maurice Prize in Fiction, which has been awarded annually since 2005. The prize is hosted jointly by John and the University of California, Davis English Department. The $5,000 prize is a gift from John in honor of his father, Maurice, for whom the contest is named.
The Maurice prize is awarded for the best sustained work of fiction (a novel, novel in stories, or other sustained book-length prose fiction form) submitted by alumni who have not yet published or had a book-length manuscript in fiction accepted for publication by the contest deadline. Literary merit is the over-riding criterion in the selection of the winning entry. It is John’s hope to inspire UC Davis graduates to publish their literary work.
