The Writers of the Future contest is an online writing contest that measures the best and brightest in science fiction prose these days. The contest is judged by a plethora of authors, all of whom have received some sort of critical acclaim for their novels, specifically in the science fiction genre.
The contest takes place yearly, and the winners of each year are published in an anthology once the contest is closed. (You can read Anthology XXIV free on Wattpad now!) There is a cash prize every three months, plus an annual cash prize of $5,000. The contest has received much acclaim, with comments such as these:
“The Writers of the Future Contest has not only provided a place where new writers could break into print for the first time—but it also has a record of nurturing and discovering writers who have gone on to make their mark in the science fiction field. Long may it continue!”
—Neil Gaiman, Author“Writers of the Future is a terrific program for new writers, and goodness knows, there are few enough of those. It has my heartiest support and unqualified recommendation.”
—Terry Brooks, Author
“A very generous legacy from L. Ron Hubbard—a fine, fine fiction writer—for the writers of the future.”
—Anne McCaffrey, Author
“Prior to L. Ron Hubbard’s Writers of the Future Contest starting, there was no field which enabled the new writer to compete with his peers—other new writers.”
—Kevin J. Anderson, Author
