The Eric Hoffer Award for prose and its associated publication, Best New Writing, accepts nominations exclusively by electronic submission. Submissions are read quarterly following the last day of March, June, September, and December. You will receive a response within two weeks of those dates. It is highly recommended that you read a volume of Best New Writing prior to submitting your work. It is an inexpensive publication. Alternatively, you may ask your librarian to request a copy.

Simultaneous submissions cannot be considered. Please, no more than one submission per quarter. This award is for unpublished stories. If your story was previously published, including on-line publications, please do not submit it. To send us your story, please click on the link below.
