Purple Ink’s Beloved Multi-Genre Chapbook Contest for BIPOC Women and Nonbinary Folks

This is a multi-genre Chapbook Contest for BIPOC women and nonbinary folks. What do we mean by multi-genre? You can submit fiction, nonfiction, poetry, hybrid, graphic novel, or anything in between, or a genre we have never seen. Show us your creativity.

This selection will be the first of the Beloved series, named in honor of Toni Morrison’s incredible novel, Beloved.

The contest will be judged by the fabulous Jennifer Maritza McCauley. Depending on the judges’ selection, there might be multiple winners. The prize is $500, publication, plus twenty copies of the chapbook. If there is more than one winner, the monetary reward will be increased and distributed among the winners.
