Jhalak Prize
Deadline: Thu 15 Dec 2016
The prize exists to support UK-based authors, publishers and agents of colour, so the book must originate in the UK and not have been published anywhere else in the world before its UK publication date

The 2017 prize is open to any book written in English and published in the UK between 1 Jan and 31 Dec 2016 with one important exception: books first published in another country of origin will NOT be considered.

The prize exists to support UK-based authors, publishers and agents of colour, so the book must originate in the UK and not have been published anywhere else in the world before its UK publication date. Books published simultaneously elsewhere will be considered if the author and primary agent are UK-based.

There’s no age limit, the authors don’t have to be British, and they can have published other books before. Non-British/Irish authors who do not live in the UK or Ireland are excluded.

We are accepting any book by a person of colour. This includes poetry, short story, non-fiction, fiction (not limited by genre), children's, teen and YA. We also accept submissions from self-published authors. The only stipulation is that the book is available for sale in the UK.
