Final Call for the First Pottersfield Prize for Creative Non-Fiction
Pottersfield Press has published such distinguished nonfiction authors as Harold Horwood, Thomas Raddall, Joan Baxter, Neil Peart, Jon Tattrie, Steven Laffoley, Lindsay Ruck, Jim Lotz, Claire Mowat, Harry Thurston and many others. Now the press hopes to further enhance its creative nonfiction publishing program with the first annual Pottersfield Prize for Creative Nonfiction.
Pottersfield is looking for submissions from writers who can provide a manuscript of 30,000 to 150,000 words in any of the following categories: history, memoir, autobiography, biography, literary journalism, political or social commentary, travel writing or virtually any existing or new category that uses the nonfiction medium to tell a story or put forward an idea.
Creative non-fiction is becoming the most popular genre in publishing today and we would like to find new manuscripts to add to our growing list of books.
The First Prize winner will receive a contract for the publication of the winning book along with a $1500 advance on 10% royalty for all sales. The Second Prize winner will also see the publication of the book and a $1,000 advance on 10 percent royalties.
The deadline is March 30, 2018 but early submissions are encouraged.
Submit your manuscript electronically as a double spaced basic Word document to pottersfieldcreative@gmail.com. Include on the title page your name, mailing address and email address.
The entry fee is $25 (including HST) and can be paid by Interac Transfer (also to pottersfieldcreative@gmail.com) or by cheque made out to Pottersfield Press mailed to 248 Leslie Rd, East Lawrencetown, NS B2Z 1T4, Canada, after the manuscript has been submitted by email.
