What if my novel is disqualified due to not meeting the definition of Women's Fiction?
If your novel is disqualified on the grounds of not fitting the women's fiction definition, you may choose to submit an appeal. The appeal process includes a questionnaire for the author, a committee review, and a final decision made by the Board of Directors. Disqualification will result in forfeiture of the submission fee.
