Announcing a new writing contest!

November 2024

NQ and WritersNL are teaming up to present NL’s first creative non-fiction writing contest – essay, memoir, biography, travelogue, long-form journalism, or an excerpt from a longer piece are all up for submission. Open to anyone over 18 – but the content must have some relevance and connection to NL. 2500 words, submitted by February 10, 2025, to info@writersnl.ca
Good luck writers! We look forward to seeing your work.
