Following up on a conversation we had in the Novelist Group on SheWrites, I’ve put together a list of contests for unpublished book length fiction (including short story collections) which I believe to be worth the entry fee (if any). Many have as a prize publication of the winner. They appear in reverse alphabetical order (because my formative years were as a W):
- SheWrites We Love New Novelists Contest
- Michigan Literary Fiction Award
- James Jones Fellowship
- Iowa Short Fiction Award
- Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction
- Bellwether Prize
- Bakeless Prizes
- AWP Awards
- Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award
Good luck with your entries! – Meg
