| Please submit your entry via regular mail. The entry must be accompanied by an Official Entry Form or facsimile, and the required entry reading fee ($15).
Your entry must be original, in English, unpublished and unproduced, not accepted by any other publisher or producer at the time of submission. A Journey Through Literary America retains the right to quote excerpts from entries as they are received, and to reproduce the First Prize and Runner-Up entries on the website or in print, with full attribution.
The entry must be typed on one side of 8-1/2 x 11 white paper (computer printout acceptable) or A4 paper. Manuscripts must be double-spaced. Your name, address, phone number and e-mail address must appear in the upper left-hand corner of the first page—otherwise your entry is disqualified. No refunds will be issued for disqualified entries.
Be sure of your word count!
Entries exceeding the 2,000 word limit will be disqualified. Type the exact word count (counting every single word, except the title) at the top of the manuscript. Mailed entries must be stapled.
Entries submitted may be fiction, non-fiction, or poetry. We see the contest as being primarily in the category of creative non-fiction, but will make every attempt to fairly judge entries submitted in the fiction or poetry categories.
