Announcing the 2009 Royal Palm Literary Awards Competition

New Guidelines, New Categories.
Beginning March 1, the Royal Palm Literary Awards committee will be accepting submissions for FWA’s members-only annual writing competition.
 This year, we’re judging works in some 23 categories, and as always, published and unpublished works will be judged separately.



The RPLA submission window is March 1 through July 13.
Early submissions get a hefty break on the entry fee, so don’t delay.
