The Slice Creative Nonfiction Contest
Ends on
Creative Nonfiction submissions should be 150-250 pages of creative nonfiction essays, double spaced, in a 12 point font. Collections should include a total of at least five essays. Please submit your work as a .pdf, .doc, or .docx file. We are opening to reading a range of experimental, literary work; for example, micro-nonfiction, vignettes, and traditional creative non-fiction essays are all welcome.
Please include a title page with your submission and indicate where an essay begins with its title. Please paginate your manuscript. Each essay should begin on a new page.
The contest winner will receive an award of $500, 10 author copies, and 25% profits on book sales. We reserve the right to not name a winner for any given contest cycle.
UPDATE: We have reached our fee waiver cap for this cycle.
We are able to offer a limited number of fee waivers. Please email forkapplepress@gmail.com to request one if needed, and we will provide a waiver if we have not yet reached our cap.
