Bold Types: Scottish Women’s Creative Writing Competition
Deadline: Fri 10 Nov 2017
Glasgow Women's Library are asking you to be bold and submit your short stories and poems to Scotland’s only free creative writing competition for women.
Our theme this year is Body Positive. As ever, we are looking for diverse interpretations of this idea, so give your creative muse free rein and email your short stories and poems of up to 1,000 words to info@womenslibrary.org.uk with ‘Bold Types Competition Entry’ in the subject line. You can enter once in each category and it’s completely free to enter. The closing date for entries is Friday 10th November.

Shortlisted writers will read their stories on 30th November in our Bold Types Creative Writing Showcase event. Our wonderfully supportive and encouraging panel of judges at the event include: acclaimed short story writer and novelist Anne Donovan; writer and intersectional feminist Sim Bajwa; Zoe Strachan, award-winning writer and tutor on the postgraduate creative writing programme at the University of Glasgow; and GWL’s own librarian, Wendy Kirk. Winners will be announced on the night and prizes include a one to one mentoring session with one of our judges and a selection of covetable books.

For further information, please contact info@womenslibrary.org.uk or visit Glasgow Women's Library

The deadline is Friday 10 November 2017 at 17:00.
