We’re pushing back the deadline for our contest! You may now extend your Labors until 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, September 4. As you may know, one poem and one prose piece (fiction or literary nonfiction) will be chosen for publication in our 2019 prize issue, and the two winners will each receive $1,000.
The entry fee of $20 includes a yearlong subscription (2 issues), and all entries—not just the winners—will be considered for publication. For each entry, send up to 8 pages of poetry or a single story/essay of up to 40 pages. Please submit entries through our online submission manager here, but not without reading our complete contest guidelines first.
Out of deference to the contest, we will be delaying the start of our regular 2018–19 reading period until Wednesday, September 5th. But come midnight on Wednesday, start firing away, gratis!
