Submit to the 2024 Literary Awards
We are excited to announce that the Ninth Letter Literary Awards are open for submissions March 1 – April 30, 2024.
We accept submissions of fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction to the literary awards, and you can find the full guidelines on our website. There is no theme for this contest, but we do have some length restrictions. Please keep in mind that this is not a full-length manuscript contest.
Ninth Letter awards a $1,000 prize to the first-place winner in each genre, print publication in our Fall/Winter 2024 issue, and two contributor copies. Winners will also have the option to have their work published online on our “contest winners” page.
The reading fee is $20, and it includes a complimentary one-year subscription (two issues) to our print magazine beginning with the Fall/Winter 2024 issue published in December for domestic entrants (complimentary copy of Fall/Winter 2024 to international entrants). All submissions will be considered for print or web publication!
Already a subscriber, but want to submit to the contest? We will add another year to your current subscription. (And thank you for your support!)
Guest judges for this year’s contest are Sara Borjas (poetry), Kristen Millares Young (cnf), and Lena Valencia (fiction). We are thrilled to have such an esteemed lineup. You can check out their bios on our contest guidelines page or on their websites.
