The Masters Review 2024 Novel Excerpt Contest
Deadline: Sun 27 Oct 2024
The Masters Review believes that every writer has a novel in them, which is why we host a call for novel excerpts every autumn. We’re looking for excerpts that exhibit a sense of style, with a clear grasp on craft: character, setting, and most importantly, story. Open to emerging writers only, worldwide.
Your excerpt may come from any place in your novel but a synopsis should not be required for understanding the excerpt. No limitations on genre, though we are primarily interested in literary fiction. Submitted excerpts must be under 6,000 words.
Tania James will serve as this year’s guest judge.
The winning excerpt will be awarded $3,000; online publication; and an hour-long consultation with Marin Takikawa, a literary agent with The Friedrich Agency. Second- and third-place excerpts will be awarded online publication and $300 and $200 respectively, in addition to written feedback from Takikawa.
The entry fee is $20. Free entry for writers from historically marginalized or underrepresented groups (up to fifty submissions in this category).

Deadline: Sunday, October 27, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. PDT
