ts-prizes-2017-featured

November 30th is the deadline for the Tarpaulin Sky Press biennial reading period for manuscripts in any genre. Two manuscripts will be chosen for publication — one by Bhanu Kapil, the other by TS Press editors. Each author will receive $1000.

If time & resources permit, TS Editors may choose additional manuscripts for publication (last time, we picked four in total). Finalist manuscript titles and authors will be listed on the website, extolling their awesomeness (see 2015 finalists). Unpublished individual works (or excerpts) from manuscript submissions may be considered for publication in our magazine (see “In Utero,” for example, featuring 2015’s finalists).

Are you stoked? Because we sure the hell are. Last time, three of our four picks were debut authors. That gets us super excited. But so does the prospect of reading work from “known” authors with new manuscripts. Yeah. All of it excites us. If this is a good time for you to send work, then do it. Send us your most intense work. Go feral on us. Tear our hearts into a million bloody pieces. Pretty please.
