The University of North Texas Press announces the 2008 Katherine Anne Porter Prize in Short Fiction.

The winner of this annual award will receive $1000 and publication by UNT Press. Entries will be judged by an eminent writer. The contest is partially sponsored by the University of North Texas English Department. Barbara Rodman serves as series editor.

Entries can be a combination of short-shorts, short stories, and novellas, from 100 to 200 book pages in length (word count between 27,500 and 50,000). Material should be previously unpublished in book form. Please include two cover sheets: one with title only, and one with title, your name, address, e-mail, phone, and acknowledgment of any previously published material. Your name should not appear anywhere on the manuscript except on the one cover page.

Manuscripts for the 2008 award should be postmarked between July 1 and August 29, 2007. The winning manuscript will be announced in January 2008. Watch for more details in Poets & Writers.

Manuscripts cannot be returned and must be accompanied by a $20 entry fee (payable to UNT Press) and a letter-sized SASE for notification.
