CONTEST GUIDELINES:
Dzanc Books solicits submissions through our annual contests:
- the Prize for Fiction, which recognizes novels that are daring, original, and innovative, and offers a $5,000 advance and publication;
- the Short Story Collection Prize, which seeks well-crafted and powerful book-length collections and offers a $2,500 advance and publication;
- and, in 2024, the Poetry Prize, which seeks brilliant poetry collections and offers a $1,000 advance and publication.
Our contests open February 1 and close September 30. The winner of each contest, along with a short list of finalists, will be announced by the end of the year.
Please note: At this time, we are not seeking submissions of YA/children's fiction.
