Good to know
Dzanc Books solicits submissions through our annual contests: the Prize for Fiction, which recognizes novels that are daring, original, and innovative, and offers a $5,000 advance and publication; and the Short Story Collection, which seeks well-crafted and powerful book-length collections and offers a $2,500 advance and publication.
At this time, we are not seeking submissions of poetry or YA/children's fiction.
