Mayborn Conference Is A’Comin’
Attention those who fancy themselves writers of stuff that isn’t made up: Get your quills ready to dip into the inkwells of literary nonfiction ink. UNT’s Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Writers Conference is still a couple of months away (the program runs July 18-20 in Grapevine). But aspiring writers should put pen to paper (or paper in the printer) for the first-ever Mayborn writers contest. Quoting from the site:
New this year…$3,000 cash prize and provisional book contract with UNT Press for 1st place manuscript. $12,000 cash prize awards to the top six article/essay submissions. For complete details and entry form, see Article/Essay Rules and Manuscript Rules.
Good luck, all.
