CRWROPPS POST: Call for student entries: $1,000 prize
If we haven't yet been introduced, I'm the managing editor for Nowhere Magazine, a literary travel-writing publication founded in 2008 that awards two authors per year $1,000 each for their winning entry into our spring and fall writing contests. We are in the midst of our fall version and I was hoping you might pass word on to your master's degree candidates and graduates, as well as to interested colleagues and friends.
We publish long-form, resonant non-fiction, fiction, essays and poetry—no lists, no guides, no fluff—penned by a diverse cohort of writers. For some, Nowhere has introduced their first published piece; for others, we're a home for an outstanding reprint or an excerpt from a forthcoming book, or a way to share something traditional travel media simply doesn't notice. We read submissions blind, judge entries solely on merit and especially relish in discovering emerging talent.
Nowhere showcases a good deal of first-time writers as well as seasoned and well-known authors, and we welcome entries from your students. Our general guidelines can be found here, and details about the contests—open to submissions—are available here. Our early-bird entry fee is $20 per story; this will increase on December 1, 2019, through contest's end on January 1, 2020.
I'm here to answer any questions you or your candidates may have—feel free to pass on my direct contact information—and hope to see their work in the mix. Thank you for your consideration!
