Greetings from Nimrod International Journal. I’m writing with some information about the Francine Ringold Awards for New Writers. This contest offers prizes of $500 and publication in both the poetry and the fiction categories, and it is open only to writers who have had no more than two previous publications in the genre in which they are submitting.
One of the oldest “little magazines” in the country, Nimrod has continually published new and extraordinary writers since 1956. We have always been dedicated to the discovery of new voices in literature, and we offer the Francine Ringold Awards as an opportunity for writers at the same place in their writing careers to compete only against each other.
I am including the contest rules with this email, and hope that you will make them available to the members of your group. Feel free to pass the information along in any way you like—be it in emails, newsletters, or on your website. For more information about Nimrod, please visit our website at https://nimrod.utulsa.edu.
The postmark deadline for submission is July 15th. Thank you for your help in spreading the word about the Francine Ringold Awards to the writers in your writing group. We hope to see your submissions soon!
Best,
Eilis O’Neal
