The Leapfrog Global Fiction Prize Contest
The annual fiction prize has been expanded to feature both Adult Fiction and Young Adult / Middle Grade competitions, with separate finalist judges for each category.
Please submit your entry via the appropriate genre.
The contest is open to all writers from around the globe.
The judges for this year's contest will be announced shortly.
If submission fees are a barrier to entry for you, Leapfrog Press and Can of Worms do make bursaries available under certain circumstances, please contact us by email at prize@leapfrogpress.com so that we can review the options/discounts available.
