Book Contest News
After a one-year hiatus, the River Teeth Literary Nonfiction Prize Series returns in full force, with a new publisher and a series judge.
Beginning this fall, the River Teeth Literary Nonfiction Prize will be published by the University of New Mexico Press. Series Co-Editors, Dan Lehman and Joe Mackall, will continue to screen all manuscripts submitted to the contest, and Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild, Tiny Beautiful Things, and Torch, and 2013 guest editor of the Best American Essays, will serve as the final judge.
The deadline for this year's contest is October 15, 2014. Winners will be announced in January 2015, and the winning manuscript will be published the following spring, 2016.
The River Teeth Literary Nonfiction Book Prize began in 2002 with the University of Nebraska Press, which published 12 previous winners in the series.
