The Lucy Cavendish College Fiction Prize
Deadline: Fri 12 Feb 2021
Now going into its eleventh year, the Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize is famous for helping undiscovered female writers launch their literary careers. Open to women writers, aged 18 years of age or over and resident in the UK or Ireland.
Founded in 2010, by Professor Janet Todd OBE, the Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize has gone from strength to strength with many shortlisted and winning authors securing publishing deals and furthering their writing. Judges are seeking writers who combine literary merit with ‘unputdownability’ and the Prize has developed a formidable reputation for attracting first-class writing talent.
All shortlisted entrants receive a valuable half-hour one-to-one consultation with our competition sponsors PFD (subject to them not already having an agent) who will give editorial feedback and discuss the marketability of the work submitted. In addition, the 2021 winner will receive a cash prize of £1,500.
Prize ceremony: This annual occasion has been instrumental in introducing previous winners to their respective agents, and allows attendees to mingle with industry specialists.
Entry fee: £12
