Pulitzer Prizes

This week The Pulitzer Prizes were announced. The winners for "Letters" were:

Fiction -- March by Geraldine Brooks (Viking)
History -- Polio: An American Story by David M. Oshinsky (Oxford University Press)
Biography -- American Prometheus: by Kai Bird and Martin
Poetry -- Late Wife by Claudia Emerson (Louisiana State University Press)
General Non-Fiction -- Imperial Reckoning: The Untold Story of Britain's Gulag in Kenya by Caroline Elkins (Henry Holt)

Although I could find no prohibition against self-published entries, all winners come from traditional presses. [contests]
