Do you have a brilliant idea for a book, but keep putting off writing it?
Good Housekeeping, book publishers Orion and literary agent Luigi Bonomi are looking for a reader whose first novel deserves to be read. We’re after someone who has never had their work published and has no literary agent.
Entries should be in the crime/thriller and women’s fiction genres. First prize is a £10,000 advance and the chance to see your book in print!
A shortlist of 10 writers will spend a day with Orion Books and Luigi, taking part in workshops and getting feedback on their submitted chapters. There are also three Acer Switch laptops for runners-up.
WHAT TO SEND
Send us a full synopsis of your story (no more than two sheets of A4 paper); 5,000 words of your novel (crime/thriller or women's fiction); a 100-word mini biography of yourself. Include your name, address and telephone number. Your work must be original unpublished work.
