One Story

A prize of $2,000, access to One Story online classes, and admission to One Story’s weeklong summer writers’ conference, which includes craft lectures, an intensive fiction workshop, and panels with literary agents and publishers, is given annually for a work of fiction. The winner also receives a full manuscript review of up to 150 pages or 35,000 words of a story collection or novel-in-progress and a consultation with One Story executive editor Hannah Tinti.
