OverviewThe Sneak Peek Unpublished Writers Contest is for unpublished writers only who would like to show off what they are working on now! Our 2016 sponsor is NowNovel.com, visit their site for more information on their mentorship program.
This contest is intended for writers who desire to be active in the lit community beyond the scope of this competition. It is the hope of the contest creators that the winner and runners up will soon have full length published works to their credit that we can link to on our site. This is the first year of competition, so we are starting small. Please send in excerpts between 600 - 1,500 words in length. There will be two top prize winners. |

The top sneak peek, as chosen by our three* judges, will receive a 200$ cash prize and the excerpt will be published on this site with link to the writers personal blog or website. While we ask that submitting writers agree to let us publish their excerpt, we will retain no rights to the works published on this site.
There will also be a 50$ readers choice prize. Readers will get to choose from the top 5 sneak peeks entered this year by a poll on our site. The other four runners up will receive free entry into next years competition if they are still unpublished. We will be asking our judges to give feedback to the top five and winning entries. We cannot guarantee the depth of this feedback as this is our competitions first year.
Entry into the 2016 competition is 10$. You may submit up to three sneak peeks, but each entry is 10$. Students who can prove they were enrolled in school on Feb 1st 2016 get a 5$ discount per entry. We would like to encourage students (especially in a creative writing program) to submit their work before they graduate.
*NOTE: The Sneak Peek Unpublished Writers Contest is still looking for two more judges for 2016. We are also looking for partnerships with writing organizations and charities that support novice and young writers. If you would like to be a judge or would like to partner with our contest, please email Dubs at tweetyrd6@comcast.net
