Congratulations, recent MFA graduate!

The MFA Award is for anyone in the world who has completed an MFA in Creative Writing in the past five years (1 May 2019 and later). Sorry no PhD or MAs in writing. 

We are open to all genres written in English, as long as it’s 60+ pages. This includes novels, novellas, story collections, poetry collections, creative nonfiction, and hybrid books. 

 Please read the guidelines below before submitting:

· We accept books 60 pages +, excluding front and back matter.

· There is a $10 submission fee for this contest

· You will be required to upload your degree or transcript excerpt (with blocked out SSN numbers & grades) 

· Please include a bio and brief synopsis of the work as a separate cover letter. 

· Simultaneous submissions are okay. Please withdraw your work immediately if it is accepted elsewhere and you wish to pursue that publication. Refunds cannot be issues for withdrawals.

· We only accept unpublished works for this submission. Sections previously published as a chapbook or individual poems or stories are acceptable, but the manuscript as a whole should be unpublished. 

· Do not include any identifying information on your manuscript. This is a blind reading. The work is judged solely on the work, not who you are or where you’re from. This award is being judged by a diverse committee of MFA graduates, professors, writers, and editors. 

· Please double-space and submit as a Word document.

· Please, human-produced work with a soul only. NO AI.
