I've been busy gearing up for the Pens for Paws Auction that starts on May 7, but wanted to give a heads up on an upcoming contest deadline. Hunger Mountain's Katherine Paterson Prize for Young Adult and Children's Writing offers a chance to win $1,000 and publication in Hunger Mountain.
Here are the quick details from my post last year:
*One overall first place winner receives $1,000 and publication! Three runners-up receive $100 each. One runner-up from the YA (young adult) entries, one from the Middle Grade entries, and one from the Picture Book or Writing for Young Children entries chosen.
*$20 entry fee.
*Entries must be postmarked by June 30th
*Submit one story or novel excerpt up to 10,000 words. You may include a synopsis if your entry is an excerpt, but an excerpt should still work as a stand-alone piece
*Work must be original, written in English, and previously unpublished
*Your name or address should not appear anywhere on the work
*Once submitted, entries cannot be altered
*All entries will be considered for general publication as well as for the Katherine Paterson Prize (My MG short story, Hornworms, was published in Hunger Mountain and it was a genuine pleasure to work with the editorial staff)
*No artwork, or translations please
*Multiple entries allowed—each entry must include a separate entry fee
Good luck if you enter!
