Green Stories has announced the opening of competition of Full-Length Novel for adults that in some way touch upon ideas around building a sustainable society.

Participation is open to all kinds of novels, such as literary fiction, science fiction, mystery, crime, etc. The story doesn’t have to be about sustainability or climate change directly.
