Memoir (and) Prize for Nonfiction:
$500 Prize and
publication in our Fall Issue.

Reading period: February 1st through April 30th, 2007

To enter:

1. Submit 10,000 words or fewer by email or snail mail: only one
submission per person.

2. Submit a $10 entry fee by check or money order.

3. Submissions received without the $10 entry fee will be considered
for publication but not entered in the contest.

4. We do not accept previously published submissions; we do accept
simultaneous submissions.

5. We purchase one-time rights and pay with copies.

6. Pages have a way of becoming separated from each other like
lively children. Yet we don’t think the writer’s name should be evident to our
judges while reading. Therefore please use the following format:

7. - On the cover page: your name and contact information, and the
entry’s title.

8. - On every page: the entry’s title.

9. - All pages numbered and double-spaced.

10. Be sure to include a self-addressed, stamped envelope if you
want us to write back to you via snail mail about your submission.

11. Manuscripts will not be returned.

12. Entries must be postmarked between February 1st and April 30,
2007.

13. Send email entry to: submissions(at)memoirjournal.com.
(replace (at) with @)
Attachments are okay. Pasting your submission into the body of your email is
also okay.

14. Send snail mail entry to: Memoir Journal, P.O. Box 1398, S
ausalito CA 94966-1398.

15. We read every submission from beginning to end, and respond
within approximately twelve weeks.
