Entry Fee: FREE
Deadline: August 15, 2009
Guidelines: http://memoirjournal.squarespace.com/general-submissions/
If you write narrative non-fiction, here is a contest to stretch your writing muscles. The literary journal Memoir (and) is having its Spring and Summer writing contest May 1 through August 15, 2009. Read this to find out what the (and) is all about.
Winners receive cash awards of $500, $250, and $100, in addition to publication in the Spring+Summer 2010 Issue 6. Winners will also receive six copies of the journal, which is about five more than most contests give. Send in a regular submission, and it will automatically be eligible for the contest entry. They do accept simultaneous submissions, so your contest entry can be something that is also under submission at another magazine.
Memoir (and) uses a blind reading process, which means that any entry with contact information on it will go directly into the horizontal file. (The recycle bin.) Read the guidelines thoroughly. One of the biggest reasons for submissions being disqualified is for not following the guidelines.
Submit online, or by email to submissions@memoirjournal.com, or by snail mail to:
Memoir (and)
P.O. Box 1398
Sausalito, CA 94966.
