Submissions close April 30th!
The 2025 Desperate Literature Short Fiction Prize is open for submissions.
The de Groot Foundation is delighted to partner with The Desperate Literature Short Story Prize to support emerging writers. The prize offers financial support, residency, publication opportunities, and more.
“The prize stands head and shoulders above other competitions, not least because the team truly care about their shortlisters and winners. That care is obvious when you look at the content of the prize packages…I know of no other fiction prize working this hard to launch the careers of their winners.” Sukie Wilson—2024 Winner
