Is the deadline for this prize a "postmark deadline" or when they have to have the manuscript? I am unfamiliar with Black Lawrence, how are they at supporting their writers and what are their expectations of you once a book is taken? Anything you can tell me would help, since this is a new press.
It's a postmark deadline. But I believe the deadline may be extended by a bit, so there's time still. As for supporting their writers, so far I've had a very good experience; as far as expectations, nothing out of the ordinary. You're involved in most all aspects of the book's production, which I like.
Thank you. That's helpful.
Well, I missed the August 31st deadline. Do you think they are moving it back? If so, I will go ahead and submit.
I think it'd be fine if you went ahead.
You should prob. query first, really...
