Our First Chapters Contest is back! We know you have a novel somewhere—currently under revision or hidden in that desk drawer—or at least the start of one. Wherever it is, dust it off and polish it up because we want to read your first chapters! This year, we're thrilled to partner with Guest Judge Rebecca Makkai to find and celebrate the most promising novels-in-progress!

First place will receive a $2,000 award and a full manuscript critique of the novel or novella, up to 100K words, by Artful Editor.
Second and third place will receive $500 and $300, respectively.
First, second, and third place will receive an agent query workshop by Annalise Errico of Ladderbird Literary Agency

Deadline: July 30, 2023, 11:59 PM Pacific
