CONTEST GUIDELINES


Please make sure that your submission packet includes the following:

Include two cover pages, the first as described above, and the second with title of the manuscript only. All entries will be judged anonymously.


No electronic submissions, please. No exceptions. Please include a table of contents page and make sure that each page of your manuscript is numbered. Make checks payable to Black Lawrence Press.

Finalists will be notified and asked to submit another copy of the manuscript for final judging. A list of finalists will be posted on the Black Lawrence Press website as soon as it is available.

Finalists and semi-finalists will receive a copy of the winning book.

All finalists will be considered for standard publication. In addition to this year's winner, Black Lawrence Press may offer standard publication to one or more other finalists.
