Hi, I am wondering if short pieces in online publications and short story competitions disqualify me from entering this prize? I am a PhD candidate at the Writing & Research Society Centre and my publication credits include a handful of short pieces. Thank you for clarifying this!
Hi Katherine, entrants who have had pieces published in journals and anthologies are eligible, unless they have a sole author title trade published. We look forward to your entries!
If a poem is included in a manuscript being considered for publication would that make it ineligible?
It is waiting to be reviewed and may not eventuate till later in the year
Thank you for your clarification.
Sent you an email!! Thanks for the question.
Hello
I am wondering where to find the entry form for the Zine competition due May 14th. I did see entry forms will be available May 21 one week after the due date..
Have I misunderstood?
Thank you
