Narratively is currently accepting submissions for their 2023 Memoir Prize. They are looking for revealing and emotional first-person nonfiction narratives from unique and overlooked points of view. The Grand Prize Winner will receive $3,000, and the two Finalists will receive $1,000 each. The guest judge is New York Times bestselling memoirist Stephanie Land. For more information and to submit a story, use their pitch form. There is a $20 entry fee — which is waived for subscribers! — and the deadline to submit is November 30.
Narratively is U.S. based but will accept submissions from anywhere. Your piece should be in the 2,000 to 7,000-word range. Work from the winners will be published on Narratively.com and included in a special Memoir Prize Digital Collection, in addition to the top three writers being awarded cash prizes. They expect to announce their final decision on or around February 5, 2024.
