A panel of judges is selected by the marathon committee and may include librarians, book store owners, former publishers, editors or professional writers. They read and discuss the manuscripts among themselves and make their selections. The winning manuscript in each category (Best Novel, Adult, Best Novel, Young Adult/Juvenile) is then sent to a publisher and/or agent for review.
2022 Publisher
We are pleased to announce that At Bay Press has agreed to be the official MNM 2022 publisher, receiving the winning manuscripts in both categories (adult and young adult/juvenile). Thanks are due to our Publisher/Agent Liaison David Patterson.
