The Masters Review Printed Anthology is an annual call for emerging writers, seeking short stories, short shorts, essays, and excerpts from works of fiction or creative nonfiction. The selected work is published in Narrative, a respected literary journal, and the author receives a $2,500 prize. This opportunity is designed to spotlight writers who have not yet published a book, providing a significant platform for their work. The anthology is curated with a focus on narrative craft and emerging voices. The editors are interested in compelling storytelling across fiction and narrative nonfiction, with a word limit of 7,000 words. There is no submission fee, ensuring accessibility for all writers. The prize and publication serve as a meaningful endorsement of the writer's potential, offering both financial support and editorial visibility. The curatorial vision emphasizes literary quality and originality. The selection process is competitive, and the anthology aims to present a cohesive collection of works that reflect diverse perspectives and styles. Writers are encouraged to submit their strongest, most polished pieces that demonstrate a command of language and a distinctive narrative voice.
