Pontas & JJ Bola Emerging Writers Prize
Deadline: Mon 15 Mar 2021
Pontas Literary & Film Agency and JJ Bola are partnering to create a mentoring prize for unagented, unpublished, under-represented writers aged 18 and over worldwide who write in English.

Writers must submit the three chapters of their unpublished novel, even if it’s not finished, along with a full synopsis and a comprehensive biography.

The winner will receive a 1,000 GBP grant to support their writing, mentoring from JJ Bola and Maria Cardona and a contract of representation from the Pontas Literary & Film Agency.

The prize is open to writers from Black, ethnic minority, LGBTQ+ and working class backgrounds who are currently working on a novel.
