About This Market
Southwest Review is pleased to announce a new prize for fiction writers who have not published a first book. Named for the late David Nathan Meyerson (1967-1998), a therapist and talented writer who died before he was able to show to the greater world the full fruits of his literary potential, the prize consists of $1,000 and publication in SWR. With the generous support of Marlene, Marti, and Morton Meyerson, the award will continue to honor David Meyerson's memory by encouraging and taking notice of other writers of great promise.
RULES: The prize is open to writers who have not yet published a novel. Submissions must be no longer than 8,000 words. A $25.00 reading fee must accompany each submission. Work should be printed without the author's name (if work is submitted online, please omit the author's name from the final "submission content text area"). Name and address should appear only on the cover letter or at the top of the online form. Submissions will not be returned. No simultaneous or previously published work. For notification, include a SASE. Postmarked deadline for receipt of the work is May 1, 2010.
