The Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA) solicits unpublished book-length manuscripts on American, British, and other modern-language literature and cultural studies and on related areas for its annual book award, given for the best unpublished manuscript by a member of NEMLA. To be eligible, the manuscript must be complete and not under consideration by any other press.
Manuscripts should be prepared for blind submission, with no personal references in the introduction, acknowledgments, title page, or table of contents. Each award includes $100 in cash and a recommendation for publication to Ohio University Press or Fairleigh Dickinson University Press.
Normally two manuscripts are selected for prizes, one in English and one in one of the other modern languages, but the NEMLA book committee may choose not to make one award or both in a year if it feels the manuscripts are not worthy of publication. The winners will be announced at the annual business meeting, held during NEMLA's spring convention.
