The New Writer seeks entries for the Prose and Poetry Prizes 2009
Get published in The Collection!
The New Writer is calling for entries of prose and poetry for the annual competition. There are three categories: fiction - for short stories, serials and novellas; poetry - for which you can enter single poems and poetry collections, and non-fiction - accepting entries of essays, articles and interviews.
Suzanne Ruthven, editor of The New Writer, says: “We are looking for bold, original writing in any genre.”
Winning entries will appear in The Collection, the special annual edition of The New Writer magazine. Cash prizes amounting to £2,000 will also be awarded.
