Robert Taylor’s manuscript, Ping Pong with the Aga Khan, has won first place in the Royal Palm
Literary Awards Competition for an unpublished memoir. The winners were
announced October 20th at the 2012 Florida Writer’s Association
Conference. Robert attended the 2011 Taos Summer Writers’ Conference where he
won the Barbara Robinette Moss prize for his essay Beauty in Pakistan: Hidden and Revealed. He also attended Debra
Monroe’s Masters Class where he introduced a first draft of his memoir.
“Debra’s guidance and the tough love of my classmates were exactly what I
needed at the time,” he said. “They hammered me with ‘Yes, Robert, but how did
you feel’ until my nerves were raw.” He’s now hoping to attract a literary
agent and publisher.
