2022 Best Self-Published Novel Contest

The Best Self-Published Novel Contest opens on January 10 and goes through March 15, 2022.

James River Writers and Richmond magazine recognize the writing talents and entrepreneurial skills of indie authors by continuing The Best Self-Published Novel Contest, which we started in 2014. One first-prize winner will receive $500 and a ticket to the 20th Annual James River Writers Conference (valued at $300). The winner is announced in the fall issue of Richmond magazine, at the conference in October, and through JRWs social media platforms and newsletters.

Let’s see what you’ve got!
