The 3-Day Novel Contest originated in 1977 with Pulp Press (now Arsenal Pulp Press) of Vancouver, who administered the contest for a full 15 years. By 1992 the editors, now somewhat older and somewhat weary of the formidable task presented by the 3-day novel contest were thinking of calling it quits. That's when we here at Anvil—then a neophyte publisher—volunteered to adopt the beast and foster it into adulthood. That we did.

The future of the 3-Day Novel Contest now rests in the hands of a dynamic group of writers and editors who are committed to taking the wooly beast another step forward. Contact them at (www.3daynovel.com). Please click the link to their website and become part of the growing legacy of one of the world's most notorious and original literary competitions.

We thank all of you who entered the contest over the years, and helped make the 3-Day Novel Contest such an exhilarating experience for all of us here at Anvil. We hope you take time to peruse our other fine literary titles, and revisit our site periodically to see what's new. All the best to all of you!
