This month we’re delighted to introduce the KR Short Nonfiction Contest, a way to celebrate and recognize small essays that pack a big punch. The submission period opened on December 1 and will run through December 31.
Entries should be no longer than 1,200 words. “The beauty of short form lies in the challenges the length presents to a writer trying to capture a real life event or experience,” says Geeta Kothari, KR’s nonfiction editor and the contest judge. “The limited word count forces the writing into places it might otherwise not have gone, and that’s what I’m most looking forward to—reading pieces that take an unexpected turn, show a necessary relationship between form and content, or surprise the reader in some way I can't even imagine.”
The contest is open to all writers who have not yet published a book of creative nonfiction. The winner will be awarded a scholarship to attend the 2019 Writers Workshop, and the winning piece will be published in the Mar/Apr 2020 issue of the Kenyon Review.
Entry Fee: $24.00
