Entering the Ring
The 2025 First Page Cage is now open. Writers of long form fiction, this contest is for you!
Send us the first two pages of your novel, novella, or novelette and see if your work will advance to the next round! The eight most enticing entries will be published on our website with judges’ commentary, and with each round, successful authors will have the chance to send us more pages up until we have settled on two finalists! Be sure to check out the contest guidelines for an in-depth look at our process.
This contest is open from now, August 1st until October 1st, but those who submit before August 15th are eligible to take advantage of our Earlybird entry fee! Hoping for feedback regardless? Our editors can also offer editorial feedback on the first two pages of your entry for an additional $10. And, as always, all entry fees include a 1-year digital subscription to Pulp Literature.
