Tempe Public Library’s writing and cover design contest celebrates its tenth year in 2024, giving participants an opportunity to demonstrate their talent with the chance to be published.
Writers can submit original work for a chance to be published in this year’s “Tempe Writes: An Anthology.” Artists are also invited to submit original designs for the cover design contest, according to a release.
Submissions will be accepted Jan. 8 through Feb. 20.
There are three writing genres from which to choose: fiction, poetry or creative nonfiction such as memoirs or essays. Writers can enter one of three categories: high school student, college student or adult.
Artists can see specs for the book cover by clicking here.
The contest is open to all Tempe residents, Tempe Public Library cardholders, Phoenix-area residents, high school students and college students.
Writers can prepare their submissions using free resources from the Tempe Public Library, such as personal consultations with the library’s writer-in-residence, writing workshops, and the Pen to Paper: Resources for Writers newsletter.
