The Sobol Award for Fiction
The Sobol Award is designed to discover new fiction writers.
Sobol is open to all unpublished authors with a $100,000 award to
the winner. The award screens a large number of manuscripts. Each one
is evaluated by multiple readers and the top-ranking entries are passed
on to a panel of distinguished judges, who select the winning
manuscripts.
Sobol provides all contestants with a reader's report on the main
strengths and weaknesses of their manuscripts. In addition, the Sobol
Literary Agency is committed to helping the top-ranking writers find
publishers.
The award is designed to be a unique nation-wide talent screener to
discover and introduce new writers to the publishing industry.
THE 2006 CONTEST IS SCHEDULED TO OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2006
Entries will close on December 31, 2006 (or earlier, if the maximum number of submissions is received.)
Who Can Enter?
The contest is open to all unpublished writers who do not have a
literary agent. Submissions must be novels in English of at least
50,000 but no more than 300,000 words.

Participants must register on the Sobol Award website, provide the
