Best Self-Published Novel Contest

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 annual James River Writers Conference (worth $250). The winner is announced in a fall issue of Richmond magazine and in October at the conference. Press releases will also recognize the winner.

The contest is open now and closes February 28, 2019.

We’re excited to announce that this year’s contest judge is Katherine Lowry Logan.
