NOTICE: WE HAVE AMENDED THE CONTEST AS OF 6/10/2015 TO INCLUDE FICTION AND NONFICTION. THERE WILL BE AN AWARD FOR ALL GENRES!!!

Are you a writer looking to win some cash and get a publication deal, oh and be considered an award winner? This year Unsolicited Press is holding a book contest for established or emerging writers with a completed manuscript. Our Rain or Shine Summertime Book Contest will award three writers the Unsolicited Press First Book Book Prize.

This will be the first book prize awarded from Unsolicited Press and we will continue the contest for years to come. The winners will receive $500, publication of their books (and 10 copies of the book), nomination to several other awards upon publication, and become intimately acquainted with our editors, a perk our published authors will tell you is invaluable to your writing future.

Former and current writers and readers are welcome to apply. We ask that you do not put your name on the manuscript...but on a cover letter with the title and your email address. The manuscripts will be read and judged by three of our editors with the final decision to be made by an external, non-biased judge. 

We are looking for 25 submissions per genre to make it a worthy affair. If you know anybody interested in submitting, you should point them this way!!!



Details:
Entry Fee: $20


Prize: $1,000, plus publication.


Deadline: August 1, 2015


Send Manuscript with: Cover page with contact information; Do not put your name on every page, please. Small bio and photo if you have/want one.

    Keep U.P. Alive

    Unsolicited Press is a beast that runs on good energy and dedicated editors and staff. Your donation helps pay these folks when books don't sell or we just break even. You see, our staff doesn't get paid until the bills and the authors are paid -- and sometimes that means we make pennies...we don't mind it, but your support really helps keep us afloat.
