Kenneth Johnston Nonfiction Book Award


Call For Submissions

Choeofpleirn Press seeks submissions of nonfiction book manuscripts for our annual Kenneth Johnston Nonfiction Book Award. This year’s judge is Anna Redsand, whose book, Crevice: A Life Between Worlds, won last year’s contest. The contest runs from September 1 to December 31, 2025. The contest fee is $30. The winner receives $500, 5 paperback copies of the book, plus one free digital copy, and one year of free ads on social media and in Poets & Writers. If the winner chooses to be the judge for the following year’s contest, there is a small stipend for that, as well.
