Young Adult/Middle Grade Fiction Submission: 2025 Contest
Ends on
Thank you for your submission to the Young Adult/Middle Grade category of the 2025 Leapfrog Global Fiction Prize.
Please read and follow the instructions below when submitting.
This category is for young adult and middle grade fiction only. We are currently not open to graphic novels, poetry collections, or picture books.
Please add a one-page synopsis at the beginning of your submission. This will help our judging panel and finalist judges better understand your intent.
We do not accept works that have been generated with the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), unless there is some specific reason that its use is central to the work. We suggest contacting us first before submission if this is the case.
Upload your complete manuscript.
Use the title as it appears on the manuscript as the file name (or as much as possible, if the title is very long).
Please be sure there is NO identifying information anywhere in the file (author name or address), including on the title page and in page headers.
Upload your complete manuscript (must be between 22,000 words and 100,000 words to be considered).
