Book awards, submission details and deadlines for 2017



Inklings Press has come a long way in 2016 - just check out our book titles available now - and thoughts have turned to perhaps submitting some of the work that has featured in recent anthologies for awards.

But rather than keep the information about awards to ourselves, this blog post is going to be a rolling, updated one detailing awards as we find out about them, the submission details, links and deadlines - because there are lots of great authors out there and it's good to share.

If you happen to know of more, give a holler in the comments!
