So, what is Creative Non-Fiction?
It is defined as writing which is factually accurate and written with attention to literary style and technique. It should communicate information, while being shaped in a way that reads like fiction. Although there is no specific theme to the competition, subjects that work particularly well in this genre include personal essay, memoir, cultural criticism, nature writing, literary journalism, history.
All Winners and Runners-up in our competitions will be published in the Unbound Press Journal and will each receive a free copy of the journal.
