Dear writer,

Exisle Publishing is excited to announce the inaugural Exisle Academy writing competition: The Moment That Changed My Life

The Moment That Changed My Life is a non-fiction writing competition open to all writers of all backgrounds. You may be a veteran author, or simply an aspiring writer who is moved by the topic. Submissions will be judged entirely on the merits and power of the writing itself, giving new writers an opportunity to break through and win the attention of senior editors at a major publishing house.

The competition will be judged by senior Exisle Publishing editors. The author of winning story will receive a $100 USD monetary prize (sent via PayPal or bank transfer to an account you specify). Up to three finalists will also have their work published on ExisleAcademy.com.

Writers can send in up to one article per person. Maximum length is 1200 words, and minimum is 800. Please make sure your article is relevant to the theme, and adheres to the word limit. 

Submissions Are Open Now and Participation is Free.
