The time has come. The Ohio Writers’ Association is now accepting submissions for The Great Novel Contest 2019. Your story is waiting to be told, and we are ready to tell it, so get your manuscript submitted.
Eligible manuscripts must be between 50,000 and 125,000 words. Ohio Writers’ Association will accept original novels or nonfiction manuscripts, such as a memoir. No children’s books or erotica will be accepted. However, novels with cross-over audiences may be submitted. All manuscripts must be previously unpublished, meaning we will accept no books that have been up for sale anywhere, in any format, at any time. This includes self-published books.

Don’t wait until the last minute to cross the finish line. The submission process is painless. Submit your manuscript here.
