Editorial Focus
Novel Slices is dedicated solely to novel excerpts. Excerpts should feel like they come from novels that want to be read—they may pop readers into the action and leave them hanging at the end. They do not have to feel “complete” or read like a short story. Each issue includes five winning excerpts from two annual contests (March to April, and September to October).
The publication is currently on hiatus.
Tips From the Editor
Each issue has a guest judge. Look at their novel(s) for an idea of styles they may be most interested in, but remember that we also push our judges to look at all genres and styles!
