Send it in! E writer in residence is now in residence.!

A great opportunity for writers but you have to act fast - only 20 writers accepted and time is limited. 


NOWW (Northwestern Ontario Writers Workshop) is now accepting submissions for our e-Writer in Residence program. From February 13 until April 30, 2015, Northwestern Ontario-based writers and all NOWW members in good standing may submit their writing for an in-depth, critical review by Amy Jones.

Manuscript submission guidelines:

  • Manuscripts must be prose, in any genre, and must be typed in 12-point Times New Roman, double-spaced with one-inch margins, and not exceed 3500 words. Please include page numbers and a word count at the top of the manuscript.
  • Manuscripts must be emailed to admin@nowwwriters.org. Response time will be 1-2 weeks, and feedback will be delivered electronically.
  • Please include a brief introductory paragraph describing where you are in your writing career and what you hope to get out of the critique.
  • Please submit only one manuscript per writer.

  • Submissions are free for NOWW members in good standing.* Cost of the manuscript submissions for non-members is $30.
  • Writers who submit their work may be given the opportunity to read from their work at a wrap-up event in late April in Thunder Bay.
  • Participation is limited to 20 writers; get your manuscript in early to avoid disappointment!

NOWW thanks the Ontario Arts Council, K-Net Services, Thunder Bay Public Library, Trinity United Church, and NOWW members for their support of the e-Writer in Residence project for 2015.

*EXTRA SWEET SAVINGS: Buy a yearly NOWW membership for $30 ($25 if you opt for e-magazine) and enter your submission for FREE! PLUS, you can continue to enjoy membership benefits throughout the remainder of the membership year, including free entry into NOWW’s yearly writing contest.
