Equinoctial: New & Unpublished Work celebrates the tilt of the light, year tipping on its axis, sky creased at the perfect centre. At the intersection of the autumnal equinox, harvest moon, & her 27th birthday, Topaz Winters (Portrait of My Body as a Crime I'm Still Committing, Button Poetry) gathers four writers of poetry & prose to share work on the precipice of becoming: jason b. crawford (YEET!, Omnidawn Publishing), Caitlin Conlon (Burning the Ghost Light, Central Avenue Publishing), Kirsten Shu-ying Chen (light waves, Terrapin Books), & Mia Arias Tsang (Fragments of Wasted Devotion, Quilted Press). Before the light begins its long walk home, find these writers mid-sentence, reading pieces still shy of final form. Nothing stays level for long. Join us while the scale still holds.
Find details about every creative writing competition—including poetry contests, short story competitions, essay contests, awards for novels, grants for translators, and more—that we’ve published in the Grants & Awards section of Poets & Writers Magazine during the past year. We carefully review the practices and policies of each contest before including it in the Writing Contests database, the most trusted resource for legitimate writing contests available anywhere.
