The Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize 2023 - now open for entries
Deadline: Wed 8 Feb 2023
The Prize is for a novel by a woman over the age of 18 that marries literary merit with unputdownability. The work can be on any subject at all. We welcome submissions of literary fiction and genre fiction equally. Open to unagented writers aged 18 or over resident in the UK or Ireland.
Now going into its thirteenth year, the Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize is famous for helping undiscovered female writers launch their literary careers. 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.
The Chair of the judging panel will announce the winner and award the prize of £1,500 at a drinks reception at the beginning of the evening. All shortlisted entrants will have the chance to meet industry representatives at the reception.
All shortlisted entrants will receive one-to-one consultation with an agent at our sponsor Peter Fraser + Dunlop (subject to them not having an existing agent) who will give each author editorial feedback as well as valuable publishing advice.
Entry fee £12
