The Open Book Bookstore mission is to bring good books to the attention of readers. The bookstore is unique: it doesn’t try to have the breadth of selection you’ll find at other retailers. What you’ll find instead is a carefully curated collection of books that they endorse. Open Book has literary and classic fiction and nonfiction, young adult and children’s books, and a range of books by local authors in the Greater Philadelphia area. And if it’s not in stock, they’re happy to special order.
Find details about every creative writing competition—including poetry contests, short story competitions, essay contests, awards for novels, grants for translators, and more—that we’ve published in the Grants & Awards section of Poets & Writers Magazine during the past year. We carefully review the practices and policies of each contest before including it in the Writing Contests database, the most trusted resource for legitimate writing contests available anywhere.
