Return of the TLC Pen Factor Writing Competition
Deadline: Mon 16 Nov 2026
The TLC Pen Factor Writing Competition is a competition for new, unpublished writing across fiction and non-fiction, open exclusively to Conscious Writing Month ticket-holders and Being A Writer members.

Five finalists will pitch their work live to a panel of industry judges at TLC PEN FACTOR LIVE on Friday November 27th 2026.

This year’s winner will be eligible to win £2,000 of prizes, including £500 in cash, £500 in TLC vouchers, and agent one to ones. A runner-up will win a full Manuscript Assessment, and all three finalists will receive an Opening Chapters Manuscript Assessment.

You don’t need to have a finished manuscript to enter, just 1,000 words and a great synopsis.
