2022 Acheven Book Prize longlist<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This prize, recognizing excellence in young adult fiction, was offered only in the years 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. The Acheven Book Prize is not an ongoing contest opportunity beyond these four years. We are deeply appreciative of all the talented writers who submitted their manuscripts for this prize. It was our pleasure, indeed, to consider them.<\/p>\n

Electronic Submissions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Submissions are invited only through Submittable<\/a> or by post mail. We do not have the staff capacity to read or respond to manuscripts that are submitted by fax or email.<\/p>\n

*Submission fee: $25<\/p>\n

*Please note that, without the submission fee, we would not be able to accept contest submissions, or to offer a $750 prize to the winner. As Regal House Publishing is a small press with limited staff capacity, contest submission fees allow us to maintain sufficient editorial resources for careful review of each and every manuscript. We understand that submission fees can be difficult to accommodate, but rest assured that because of them, your submission will be carefully read, reviewed, and considered for this prize. Thank you for your understanding.<\/p>\n

All physical manuscripts must be mailed (or postmarked) to the below Regal House Publishing address by September 30, 2023. Please be sure to include the entry form and the $25 entry fee with your submission. Send one copy of each manuscript. Make check or money orders payable to Regal House Publishing.
