Per favore, aiutateci a far girare la voce su di un concorso di scrittura per
mormoni di qualsiasi paese e che scrivono in qualsiasi lingua!

Il Mormon Lit Blitz è un concorso per storie, saggi e poesie sulla vita, le
credenze e gli interessi dei Santi degli Ultimi Giorni. In passato, abbiamo
pubblicato racconti, saggi e poesie in inglese, spagnolo, portoghese, giapponese,
filippino ed estone. Incoraggiamo gli scrittori ad inviare opere in qualsiasi
lingua per uno speciale concorso “Around the World”. Abbiamo in programma
di pubblicare dodici brani finalisti del concorso. I lettori sceglieranno la loro
opera preferita e l’opera con più voti vincerà un premio di $200. Un’altra opera
sarà invece premiata con $200 da un giudice letterario.

La scadenza del concorso è il 31 marzo 2023. Gli autori possono inviare fino a
tre opere. Ogni opera non può superare le 1.500 parole. Si prega di inviare le
opere per email a dailymormonwriter@gmail.com. Gli autori dovranno
includere il proprio nome, le informazioni di contatto e il titolo di ogni opera nel
corpo dell’e-mail.

Con l’invio delle opere, gli autori ci danno il diritto non esclusivo di pubblicarle
online e in una futura antologia cartacea (prevediamo di pubblicare il terzo
volume della nostra serie antologica nel 2027 e invieremo una copia a ciascun
autore incluso nel libro in quel momento). Gli autori restano liberi di
ripubblicare a loro piacimento le loro opere in eventuali future raccolte o in
qualsiasi altro luogo preferissero.

Affinché questo concorso abbia successo, abbiamo bisogno del vostro aiuto per
condividere questa chiamata con gli scrittori mormoni di tutto il mondo. Sono
accettati contributi in qualsiasi lingua.

Domande frequenti:

In che lingua verranno pubblicati i finalisti?

Le opere scelte come finaliste saranno pubblicate sia in lingua originale che in
inglese. Se lo desiderano, gli scrittori possono inviare le proprie traduzioni delle
opere o consentire ai nostri giudici e traduttori volontari di valutarle e tradurle.

Posso inviare la mia opera se è più lunga di 1.500 parole?

No. Le opere devono contenere meno di 1.500 parole per qualificarsi per il
concorso.

Il mio pezzo deve avere i personaggi dei Santi degli Ultimi Giorni?

No. Alcuni temi scelti dai vincitori delle passate edizioni riguardavano i
personaggi, le scritture o la storia dei Santi degli Ultimi Giorni. Altri
esplorarono temi come la famiglia, le scelte o la morte in modi che
interessassero ai lettori dei Santi degli Ultimi Giorni.

 

Help ons om aandacht te vragen voor een literatuurwedstrijd voor Mormoonse schrijvers van alle landen en alle talen.

De Mormon Lit Blitz is een wedstrijd voor verhalen, essays en gedichten over het geloof van de Heiligen der Laatste Dagen en hun levens en interesses. In het verleden hebben wij verhalen, essays en gedichten gepubliceerd in het Engels, Spaans, Portugees, Japans, Tagalog en het Ests. We moedigen schrijvers aan hun werk in te zenden voor een speciale “Wereldtoer”-wedstrijd. We zullen de twaalf literaire werken van de wedstrijdfinalisten publiceren. De lezers zullen een winnaar kiezen die $200 prijsgeld in de wacht kan slepen. Een literaire jury zal nog een ander winnend stuk literatuur kiezen dat ook met $200 zal worden beloond.

De deadline voor de wedstrijd is 31 maart, 2023. Auteurs kunnen tot maximaal 3 stukken insturen. Elke inzending mag niet meer dan 1500 woorden bevatten. Zend alle verhalen, gedichten of essays naar: everydaymormonwriter@gmail.com. Auteurs moeten hun naam, contactgegevens en de titel van elk stuk in de e-mail insluiten. Bij inzending geven de auteurs het niet-exclusieve recht om hun werk online te publiceren en om het in een toekomstige bloemlezing af te drukken (we zijn van plan om het derde volume van onze bloemlezing te publiceren in 2027 en alle auteurs die erin voorkomen een kopij te zenden). Auteurs behouden het recht om hun werk te herpubliceren in hun eigen uitgave of waar ze het ook willen. Om deze wedstrijd succesvol te maken vragen we jouw hulp om deze oproep te delen met schrijvers over de hele wereld. Inzendingen worden aanvaard in elke taal.

Veelgestelde vragen:
In welke taal zullen de winnende werken worden gepubliceerd?
De verhalen, essays en gedichten zullen in hun originele taal, zowel als in het Engels worden gepubliceerd. Als ze willen, kunnen auteurs hun eigen vertaling van hun werken inzenden. Ze kunnen ook de toestemming geven aan onze vrijwillige juryleden en tolken om hun verhaal te vertalen.

Kan ik mijn verhaal inzenden als het langer dan 1500 woorden is?
Nee. Verhalen mogen niet meer dan 1500 woorden bevatten, anders worden ze gediskwalificeerd.

Moet mijn werk over Heiligen der Laatste Dagen gaan of betrekking hebben op personages ervan?
Nee. Sommige eerdere winnaars schreven over personages, de schriften of de geschiedenis van de Heiligen der Laatste Dagen. Andere auteurs verkenden thema’s zoals gezin, keuze of de dood, op manieren die verband houden met de Heiligen der Laatste Dagen.

Submissions are currently open for the 11th annual Mormon Lit Blitz.  We’re also preparing, though for another Around the World in Mormon Literature contest this fall, based on the multi-language contest we held in 2019. That contest was a pioneering effort in bringing together Latter-day Saint creative writers working in different languages: the twelve finalists included stories in Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Estonian, Tagalog, and English. 

We love hearing from Latter-day Saints in their own languages. Sharing stories helps us feel closer to our brothers and sisters around the world. We need help, though, to work across languages! In 2019, a team of volunteers gave their time to help translate the call for submissions, spread the word about the contest, read submissions, and translate winning stories into English.

Are you excited about Mormon literature? Do you speak English and another language, or have social connections outside the United States? If so, we hope you’ll consider volunteering to help us with our 2022 contest.

Fill out this survey to let us know how you’d like to help. 

It’s that time of year again–just a week left to choose the winner of the Mormon Lit Blitz!

Next Contest

This fall, past Mormon Lit Blitz finalist Jeanna Mason Stay will be guest-editing a special contest, “Saints, Spells, and Spaceships,” for speculative flash fiction with a compelling Mormon angle. See the complete rules here.

Book Mentoring Project

We love what people do with 1,000 words. If you enjoy the kind of literature you’ve read in the Mormon Lit Blitz, though, we hope you’ll also consider donating $5, $10, or $20 to support the eight authors currently in our book mentoring program.

 

Over the past 10 years, the Mormon Lit Blitz contest has published more than a hundred unique works of Mormon microliterature—short essays, stories, and poetry that stretch our sense of what literature can accomplish in a community of faith.

We’re excited to take the next step. This year, we’re mentoring four prose writers  and four poets as they develop books. We’ve already brought together a volunteer team of people with expertise in writing, editing, publishing, and advertising to provide monthly classes and personal consultations. We also aim to raise a $1,000 to $2,000 budget in support of each project. Even a small budget can help make someone’s dream project a reality.

To help bring these new titles into the world, make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation to the Mormon Lit Lab today. Whether you are able to contribute $20 or $100, any and every contribution will make a real difference.

If you would like to designate a specific project as the preferred beneficiary of your gift, you may do so. The writers and projects are:

PROSE

Luisa Perkins

Mid-Century Murder is the first novel in a mystery series featuring Annette Van Doren, a 54-year-old recently widowed Latter-day Saint. Through Annette’s employment at a business specializing in historic real estate, each mystery will involve different houses and architectural styles. At the same time, the book will explore how a Mormon woman redefines herself after years when her energy was far more focused on family needs.

Target draft completion date: Fall 2021

Luisa’s Mormon Lit Blitz pieces:

• Spring Hill
• Three Dogs in the Afterlife

César Fortes

César Fortes has been the most popular Portuguese-language writer in the Mormon Lit Blitz. He is working on a collection of autobiographical short stories featuring Mormon experience in his family and ward in Cape Verde. These slice-of-life stories, at turns humorous and poignant, give a strong sense of place and community while raising important spiritual and social questions.

Target draft completion date: Fall 2021

César’s Mormon Lit Blitz pieces:

• My Vacation on the Island of Santo Antão
• Our Dog, Stromberg
• A Sunday at Laginha

William Morris

The Courtship of Elder Cannon is a short literary novel about a recently widowed member of the Seventy and a U of U literature professor who are set up on a blind date in 2009 in the wake of scrutiny over the Church’s involvement in California’s Proposition 8. Told through conversations, journal entries, talks, emails, scriptural commentaries, and so on, the novel explores how Mormon conceptions of grief, eternal marriage, and personal revelation impact Elder Cannon’s relationships with the woman he courts, his family, her family, and his identity as a husband, father, and church leader.

Target draft completion date: Summer 2021

William’s Mormon Lit Blitz pieces:

• After the Fast
• The Elder Who Wouldn’t Stop
• The Joys of Onsite Apartment Building Management
• Last Tuesday
• Proof That Sister Greeley Is a Witch (Even Though Mormons Don’t Believe in Witches)
• The ReActivator
• Release
• There Wrestled a Man in Parowan

Gabriel González

El periplo de Melitón González Trejo [The Quest of Melitón González Trejo] is a historical novel steeped in magical realism. Based on the life of the primary translator of the Book of Mormon into Spanish, it recounts his travels from Spain to the Philippines to Utah to Mexico during the second half of the 19th century. As an immigrant and translator himself, the author will explore the sense of gain and loss that comes with immigration and crossing boundaries.

Target draft completion date: Late 2023

Gabriel’s Mormon Lit Blitz pieces:

• Documentary Appendix 1
• The God I Can Trust

POETRY

Marianne Hales Harding

Halfway to Heaven: Poems Crafted in Utah’s Wild Places is a poetic trail guide. Written on hikes in Utah and linked to specific trails, the work lends itself to being read in the space where it was written. Framed by her grandfather’s work as a landscape photographer of Utah’s Grand Circle of National Parks, this book is a tribute to the land and an exploration of how the land has mixed into Mormon consciousness and seeped into our sense of self.

Target draft completion date: Fall 2022

Marianne’s Mormon Lit Blitz pieces:

• Natural Coloring
• Platinum Tears
• Red Rock
• Walking Among the Legend People

Jared Forsyth

How does our view of God relate to our views of money? In a collection of poems about money and religion, Jared Forsyth explores individual attitudes and shared financial structures, looking at both our shortcomings and the possibilities we have to exercise discipleship in our own finances and in our society.

Target draft completion date: Spring 2022

Jared’s Mormon Lit Blitz pieces:

• Airplanes that Crashed: A Book of Mormon Coloring Book

Scott Hales

Scott Hales’ Hemingway in Paradise and Other Mormon Poems is a poetry collection about lives and afterlives. Exhibiting the same wry humor and unique Mormon perspective that made his The Garden of Enid: Adventures of a Weird Mormon Girl a beloved webcomic, Hales invites readers to join him at the crossroads of fact and fantasy, memory and invention, and life and death. Hemingway in Paradise is a deep dive into a Latter-day Saint imagination, moving freely from playful engagements with Church history and doctrine to poignant meditations on the everyday incidents and occurrences of Mormon experience.

Target draft completion date: Summer 2021

Scott’s Mormon Lit Blitz pieces:

• Child Star
• Brother and Sister
• The Hills of Heaven
• Living Scriptures
• Regimen

Selina Forsyth

Selina Forsyth is currently pursuing a PhD in social work. She’s interviewing Latter-day Saint social workers and writing a collection that mixes nonfiction with poetry to explore the principles in Matthew 25:31-46. What insights can social workers give us into Christ’s call to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and visit the prisoner?

Target draft completion date: End of 2022

Selina’s Mormon Lit Blitz pieces:

• Resurrection by Easter 2020

Please note that, while we want to help every  project reach completion, the Mormon Lit Lab does not guarantee the success of proposed projects. Funds will be disbursed to writers for use on approved book-related expenses. In the event that a book project stops progressing, we reserve the right to shift its budget to support other projects. Donations are not refundable. 

Since 2012, the annual Mormon Lit Blitz contest has encouraged people to use Latter-day Saint ideas, values, beliefs, or imagery in very short stories, essays, poems, or other forms of writing. An anthology of contest finalists over the contest’s first five years is available here. We are now accepting submission for our tenth annual contest. 

Submission details: 

Submissions for the Tenth Annual Mormon Lit Blitz writing contest are due on 30 April 2021 to everydaymormonwriter@gmail.com. Submitted works may be in any genre so long as they are under 1,000 words and designed to resonate in some way with a Latter-day Saint audience. Previously published material and simultaneous submissions are acceptable. Up to three submissions are allowed per author.

Finalists will be posted on the Mormon Artist magazine website (lit.mormonartist.net) in June. At the conclusion of the Lit Blitz, readers will vote for their favorite pieces, and a $100 prize will be given to the audience choice winner. All finalists will later be published in a print anthology, and their authors will become eligible for our new book development program.

To facilitate the judging process, we prefer to receive submissions as .doc, .docx, or .pdf attachments with the author’s name and contact information in the body of the email but not included in the attached text. Please email submissions and any questions you may have to everydaymormonwriter@gmail.com.

As a writer, you retain the right to republish your piece in your own collections or other venues. By submitting, authors give us nonexclusive rights to publish their work electronically and in a future print anthology (with an anthology copy as payment). As stated above, previously published work is fine if you still have the rights to the piece and if it meets the above contest requirements.

Stay in touch:

Thank you for your interest in Mormon Literature!

In Nauvoo, women like Ann Carling, Vienna Jacques, and Patty Bartlett Sessions were called to an important work: serving as midwives for the Latter-day Saints gathering from different backgrounds to build new communities and a new identity together. As the Saints crossed the Plains and settled in the West, midwives and others cared for the needs of Zion’s mothers and regularly met in council to discuss women’s and maternal health. Though many converts had left networks of family and community to settle among the Saints, pioneer women were not alone in the work of giving birth.

At the Mormon Lit Lab, we take inspiration from our forebears in the faith. Though a book hardly has the same value as a baby, we recognize that opportunities for support and counsel and ease any creative process. Over the past nine years, we’ve created opportunities for dozens writers to create short work that reflects their identity as Latter-day Saints or plays with Mormon themes and heritage in some way through the Mormon Lit Blitz contest. We’ve connected contest finalists with thousands of readers, who have seen new possibilities for Mormon literature in their work. At the release party for The Mormon Lit Blitz: The First Five Years, we made an announcement about a next step in our group’s work as literary midwives. We are launching a new program to support past Mormon Lit Blitz finalists who want to develop a book.  

Our literary midwife program will consist of three main elements:
1. Each accepted writer will attend a group orientation and get a one-on-one follow up planning session with an experienced Mormon Lit Lab advisor, culminating in approval of a process and budget plan.
2. We will match writers with a sponsor or sponsors who provide a small budget, typically up to $1000, to cover costs associated with the book’s production and promotion. Grants will be dispersed in stages, according to the pre-approved plan.
3. We will hold a series of online council meetings to provide guidance on different elements of writing, publishing, and promotion. Attendance at each will be optional, based on writers’ plan and sense of their own needs.

Writers interested in publishing under the Mormon Lit Lab brand (along with our test crop of Grace Like Water, Song of Names, and the Mormon Lit Blitz anthology) will have that option at the end of the development process. Publishing with us is not, however, a requirement. Writers who are accepted into a given year’s development class retain all rights to their work and are free to submit their book to other publishers. Our interest is helping books come into being.  

Through March 31, 2021, we will be accepting book proposals to be considered for inclusion in our inaugural development class. Only past finalists from a contest sponsored by the Mormon Lit Lab are eligible to apply. Book proposals should consist of brief responses to the following four prompts:
1. Tell us about the book you’d like to write.
2. What does this book offer to Latter-day Saint readers or others interested in Mormon ideas, imagery, and experience?
3. What parts of the writing, publication, or promotion process are you most interested in getting help with?
4. What is your anticipated timeline for completing the manuscript?
If they have already started a manuscript, writers may also attach a sample. 

If you are interested in making a small contribution to support our general book development efforts, you can make a monthly contribution on our Patreon account or send a one-time donation by PayPal to everydaymormonwriter@gmail.com. If you are interested in making a larger contribution and would like the chance to be matched to a project you feel strongly about, please reach out to us via email or Facebook message.
