Thanks for your detailed comment. S.Korea literary world is very closed society. So one should win the literary contest to be accepted as a writer in S.Korea. In terms of this I used the term, ‘authorized.’ When I apply English Literature Ph.d program I’ll have to appeal my award-winning career according to your advice. P.S : Your English made me ashamed of my English. I’m strongly feeling that I need to study English very hard. haha.

I'm South Korean. In S.Korea, if someone wins the annual spring literary contest, the person is authorized as a writer. I'm a prizewinner and published my work. When I apply for English literature Ph.d program in U.S., is this experience helpful for admission?
