Eligibility
Here are the rules:
The “Novellas Need Love, Too” contest is open to both published and unpublished authors. For the purposes of this contest, “Published” means either an RWA member or non-member who has accepted or initiated a publishing contract from any kind of publisher for fiction in the past five years of 12,000 words or more. “Unpublished” means either an RWA member or non-member who is unpublished in novella (12K or above) or novel (40K and above) length fiction and who has not accepted or initiated a contract with any kind of publisher for fiction in the past three years. This includes self-published works of fiction. If upon entry, you are “unpublished” but receive a contract (for other than the entered manuscript) before the entry deadline, you must notify the contest coordinator and we will give you the option of switching to the “published” category, or withdrawing from the contest.
