The Book Edit Writers' Prize 2025
Deadline: Mon 13 Oct 2025
Aimed at talented writers who might not otherwise have access to the industry, the prize is open to all unpublished British and/or UK-based novelists from backgrounds and communities under-represented in UK publishing. Completely free to enter.
The competition will select eight writers to read their work at a live Zoom showcase event for invited industry guests taken from The Book Edit’s wide industry network. After the event, an anthology of the readings and recordings from the showcase will be published on The Book Edit’s website.
The winning writers will also be given training on reading their work aloud with an online rehearsal one week before the showcase.
This year's judge is Janice Okoh, author of Just Act Normal, this year’s standout BBC3 Comedy Drama.
