The Coppice Prize was an annual short story competition run by the Redbud Writing Project from 2021-2023. During the three years we sponsored this contest, we received hundreds of submissions, short-listed 30 finalists, and published 11 winning stories in our Coppice Prize anthology. Judges for this contest included Kelly Link, Clare Beams, Joanna Pearson, John Kessel, Makenna Goodman, Beth Morgan, Alison B. Hart, and Jill McCorkle.

As of 2024, the Coppice Prize is on hiatus. We hope to bring back this contest someday. Until then, the 2022 and 2023 anthologies are available for purchase on our Merchandise page as well as at So&So Books.

Thank you for your interest in our contest!
