What's Next

Next year, we'll be holding our 15th Mormon Lit Blitz contest, which we're really excited for.

We'll also be running another round of the Mormon Lit Lab Book Mentorship program. Those selected to the program receive a year of mentorship and funding to work on or publish your book project. If you've been published in one of our previous contests, then you're eligible to apply. We'll be holding a workshop on putting together your proposal on September 13th. If you'd like more details and a reminder about the workshop, fill out this form.
