2019 Essay Press / UWBothell MFA Book Contest

Essay Press and the University of Washington Bothell's MFA in Creative Writing and Poetics Program are happy to announce a collaborative book contest, judged by Ching-In Chen and Jill Magi!

The contest reading period ends November 30.

We're particularly excited to read manuscripts that extend or challenge the formal possibilities of prose, including but not limited to: lyric essays and prose poems or poetics; experimental biography and autobiography; innovative approaches to journalism, interdisciplinary historiography, criticism, scholarship and philosophy. Simultaneous submissions, multiple submissions, collaborative manuscripts, digital and hybridized text/art manuscripts are all welcome. 

The contest winner will receive book publication by Essay Press (including author book copies and royalties), and travel expenses for invited readings on the Bothell campus and in downtown Seattle.

The ideal manuscript will run roughly 70-200 pages, though no manuscript will be denied consideration on account of being too short or too long. We will consider all submitted manuscripts for additional publishing possibilities. Selections will be made and announced by March 2020.
 
The reading fee is $20, or $25 to receive a copy of a previous or forthcoming Essay Press book, or one of the winning contest books.

Submissions via Submittable: https://essaypress.submittable.com/submit


Additional information, including information about this year's judges, can be found on our website: http://www.essaypress.org/ep-uwb-contest/
