About

Writing Knights is turning 10 in May 2019 and we want to have a birthday party! We want to continue to celebrate your presence in many diverse aspects with a chapbook contest. There will be 5 categories of the contest: Men; Women; Mental Illness; People of Color; and LGBTQ+. Entrants may enter multiple categories with their submissions. Examples: a man who has depression may enter the Men category and the Mental Illness category; a black woman could enter the Women category and the People of Color category. If an entrant feels all categories apply to them, they may enter all categories.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions, and they do not offer monetary payment for accepted submissions.
