"For the past five years, Glamour, a nationally distributed women's magazine with a circulation of 2.2 million, has held a nonfiction essay contest. Once again we are looking for submissions. In particular, we are searching for personal stories about people's lives: inspiring journeys, challenging relationships, obstacles overcome, you name it."

To enter, contestants must submit a typed, double-spaced manuscript of 2,500 to 4,000 words in length by July 16, 2007.

The prizes are fantastic: The winner’s story will be published in Glamour; he or she will attend a New York City literacy event in their honor; and last but not least, he or she will get $10,000.

A panel of distinguished writers, including Pulitzer Prize winner Jane Smiley and Seabiscuit author Laura Hillenbrand, will help Glamour editors select the winner.
