WAG members: In addition to cultivating this international platform, we remain committed to amplifying voices from around our community and our region. In an effort to highlight and celebrate work by Writers Alliance of Gainesville members in particular, this year’s Bacopa Literary Review writing contest will include a “Best of WAG” award in each of our five submissions categories.

We invite all WAG members to submit to the category of your choice. Winning pieces will be noted in the journal’s table of contents, as well as in the body of the journal. These pieces will be featured on our Editors Blog and social media, and the authors will also be invited to read their work at our annual journal debut event.

While there are no separate cash prizes for the WAG member awards, winners will still be considered for the cash prizes in their genre of the overall contest.

Please send us your work via the new fee-free, WAG members-only submissions portal on our Submittable page: https://writersallianceofgainesville.submittable.com/submit

Full details  Overview Founded in 1971 by veteran paperback editor Donald A. Wollheim, along with his wife, Elsie B. Wollheim, DAW Books was the first publishing company ever devoted exclusively to science fiction and fantasy. Now almost 50 years and two thousand titles later, DAW has a well-deserved reputation for discovering and publishing the hottest talents in the industry. Many stars of the science fiction and fantasy field made their debuts in the pages of a DAW book, including Patrick Rothfuss , Tad Williams , C. J. Cherryh , Mercedes Lackey , Kristen Britain , Melanie Rawn , C.S. Friedman , and Tanith Lee . Despite its high profile, DAW is still a small private company, owned exclusively by its publishers, Elizabeth R. Wollheim and Sheila E. Gilbert. Betsy and Sheila are strongly committed to discovering and nurturing new talent, and to keeping a personal “family” spirit at DAW—something they feel is all too rare in today’s world of international cong...

Full details How can I submit my idea to Quirk? We love smart, original, cool, and fun books! However, each editor has their own submissions policy, so please review their guidelines carefully. Our house policy: We only review digital queries and sample material. No physical submissions, please. Thank you for thinking of us! Who should I contact? Jhanteigh Kupihea (Editorial Director)  loves exceptionally written, high-concept adult fiction and pop-culture-driven non-fiction. If your mystery/thriller has a true-crime or feminist twist to it, send it to her! She loves horror—the more atmospheric and psychological, the better. (Not a fan of violent and gory.) She loves fun, voice-y novels for women, especially ones that focus on female friendships or subvert romantic comedy tropes. Regardless of the genre, she loves anything that breaks the mold and plays with unusual structures, so think of her for your modern update on the epistolary novel or your interacti...
