We try to make the entry process as simple as we can, but questions happen. You might not be sure if your book is eligible. You might be unfamiliar with Submittable. Maybe a password you need has 'fallen into the void'.
We want to help. Winning Writers has spent several years developing superior customer service under managing editor Annie Mydla. Our goal is to give you fast, efficient responses within two business days. When a refund is called for, it's issued within days, not weeks.
So email your questions to info@winningwriters.com. You can also call us. As long as you reach out by our July 1 contest deadline, we'll include your entry in this year's contest, even if it takes a few extra days to complete.
You may mail your entry and $95 fee to Winning Writers, Attn: North Street Book Prize, 351 Pleasant Street Suite B PMB 222, Northampton, MA 01060-3998, USA. Please postmark your entry by July 1.
Please note that feedback will only be provided for entries submitted online, and not those entries submitted by mail.
If you would like us to return your book at the conclusion of the contest, please request this at the time of your entry and enclose an extra $10 for postage and handling.

This Weeks Break-Even
Heaven Hill
Kentucky Bourbon
The Heaven Hill 7 Year Old Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon pays tribute to the brand’s 1939 original release, crafted from a traditional mash bill of 78% corn, 12% malted barley and 10% rye. Aged for seven years and bottled at 100 proof, it offers classic aromas of vanilla, honey and caramel, leading to a smooth, warming palate with gentle rye spice. Long and lingering on the finish, this small batch bourbon embodies Heaven Hill’s legacy of quality, patience and family tradition — a true taste of Kentucky heritage.
Break-Even Price £4.36 | Usual Price £15.93
