Radix Media is a worker-owned print shop and independent publisher based in Brooklyn, New York. They are reading short story collections by emerging writers of color for their on-going publishing project, The Megaphone Prize.

The deadline for the Prize has been extended to 10/15

The Megaphone Prize (previously the Own Voices Prize) is an annual contest from Radix Media dedicated to the discovery of timely, urgent, and interrogative collections from emerging writers of color. This year, the prize is open to short story collections. Writers can submit a manuscript between 35,000 and 80,000 words with a $20 submission fee. Deesha Philyaw, author of the collection The Secret Lives of Church Ladies and Winner of the 2021 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction will choose the winning manuscript whose author will receive $1000, publication, and 20 author copies. The manuscripts can be submitted here. 

Radix Media is looking to read works by emerging writers of color — writers still navigating the literary landscape with their work tucked under their arms.
