Anvil Reclaims 3-Day Novel Contest

Anvil Press is pleased to announce the reclamation of the International 3-Day Novel Contest, the world’s most notorious literary marathon. The 2020 contest took place this past Labour Day Weekend: Sept. 5 – 7. It was a great turnout, with 250+ writers hunkering down to write their short novels. Our panel of readers is now busy reading and reading and reading. We will announce a longlist early in the new year.

Mark your calendar for next year!

The basics: Writing starts midnite Friday of the long weekend and wraps up midnite of the holiday Monday. The winner receives money, publication, and overnight fame!

The entries are judged by a panel of writers and editors, which announces its winning selection in the spring of the following year. The winning novel is then published by Anvil Press.
