Tazmode:

I am not bringing down your morale. The deadline is April 17. I assume that you are an unpublished writer who is still largely unknown. Now, tell me, can you write, edit and publish a good novel between now and April 17?

Remember that working with a deadline so close might put too much pressure on you that you might end up writing something terribly substandard. Sorry, bro. There are other prizes coming up later this year but this one is gone.

Sorry, this year's prize is for poetry not novels. Last year was for novels. Last year's prize was won by Abubakar Adam Ibrahim.

okay
