Call for Submissions: Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing

Submissions are open for the 2020 Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing. In its fifth year, the prize will award $10,000 and publication to a debut work of fiction by a first-generation immigrant. The 2020 judges are all immigrants themselves:  novelist Dinaw Mengestu, translator Achy Obejas, and Restless Books publisher Ilan Stavans. We seek extraordinary, culture-straddling writing from emerging writers that addresses identity in a global age. Submissions are open through March 2020.  The  prize page has the full guidelines and eligibility requirements, as well as information about the judges and the past winners.
