Southern Breeze Writing Contest

Remember "if-then" statements? Like "If you read the Southern Breeze blog, then you're going to know what's going on in SCBWI in Georgia, Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle."

And here's one more for you: If the Show-Mo events have started near you, then the Southern Breeze Writing Contest is coming up! Every June, you're invited to send in your manuscripts in the hopes that our judges will award you a prize. This year, we've lined up a slate of super judges!

For Illustrated Text (Includes fiction and non-fiction picture books, early readers, leveled readers, and illustrated chapter books):

Lara Perkins, Associate Agent at Andrea Brown Literary Agency


For Middle Grade (Includes novels in verse):

Hannah Fergesen, KT Literary Agency


For Young Adult (Includes novels in verse):

Elizabeth Bewley, Sterling Lord Literistic, Inc.


Check out the judges and see what they like! Because if you do your homework, then you might find the perfect manuscript to send to the contest. And please check the Southern Breeze website here for details about the contest like formatting, word count, and where to send the manuscripts. All the rules are there, including this final if-then:

If you are a member of Southern Breeze and/or attended wik'18, then you may enter the Southern Breeze Writing Contest. (And if you are not a member, then what are you waiting for? Come join us today!)
