We’re looking for a previously unpublished novel manuscript, in any genre, but which we feel has obvious mass appeal and deserves to reach a wider audience.

Lulu.com will publish the winning book in 2018, with cover design, marketing and PR support from Authoright.

To enter, submit the first chapter, or up to 2,000 words, a one-line teaser or strapline, a one-page synopsis and one-page marketing plan (in a single doc, docx, pdf or txt file).

Please note that although we are not asking for full manuscripts at this stage, your novel must be finished, and between 60,000-100,000 words.

Entry is free. The competition is open to all writers, published or not, but the work entered must not have been previously published in any form at any time.

The closing date is 31 January 2018.
