The Masters Review: Best Emerging Writers 2025
Deadline: Sun 8 Jun 2025
The Masters Review’s long-running anthology series returns for the fourteenth year. If you’re a writer of fiction or creative nonfiction who has not yet published a novel or memoir with a major press, this is the contest for you.

Best Emerging Writers 2025 will showcase a collection of prose from ten writers who are on their way to greatness. Selecting this year’s best emerging writers is Andrew Porter, author of The Disappeared, the forthcoming novel The Imagined Life, and more.

Submissions of fiction or creative nonfiction must be under 8,000 words. International submissions are allowed, provided the work is written primarily in English.

Each of our ten winners will receive a $700 award and a print copy of the book.

The entry fee per submission is $20. Writers from historically marginalized or underrepresented groups are invited to submit for free until we reach fifty submissions in this category.

Deadline: 11:59 p.m. PDT on June 8, 2025
