The Novel Prize
Deadline June 1 (must be received by this date), formerly July 1. Recommended free contest gives $10,000 advance and simultaneous publication by co-sponsors New Directions, Fitzcarraldo Editions, and Giramondo for a book-length work of literary fiction written in English by a published or unpublished writer. Although the author may have had other works published previously, the manuscript entered for this prize must be unpublished both in print and in digital formats. Author or their agent should submit full manuscript of the novel (minimum 30,000 words) online to the correct publisher, depending on author's place of residency: if based in Africa and Europe, submit to Fitzcarraldo Editions; if based in Asia and Australasia, submit to Giramondo; and if based in the Americas, submit to New Directions. Be sure to include a cover letter, biographical note, and brief outline of the novel.
