Novellas are only accepted as part of a larger collection. Manuscripts may be no fewer than 150 and no more than 300 pages. Prior publication of your manuscript as a whole in any format (including electronic) makes it ineligible.\nStories or novellas previously published in magazines or journals or in book form as part of an anthology are eligible.\nManuscripts may also be under consideration by other publishers\, but if a manuscript is accepted for publication elsewhere and you wish to accept this offer\, please notify the Press immediately. Manuscripts under contract elsewhere are no longer eligible for the Prize.\nAuthors may submit more than one manuscript to the competition as long as one manuscript or a portion thereof does not duplicate material submitted in another manuscript.
