Ultimate Novel Writing Programme: course anthology

We’re creating an anthology featuring the first 750 words of your manuscript and an elevator pitch to showcase the work you’ve created this past year. You’ll receive a digital copy of the anthology to share with your family and friends, and we’ll also send it out to our database of literary agents to help you find your perfect agent.

You can check out last year’s anthology here.

To be featured in the end-of-course anthology please submit:

• First 750 words of your manuscript (-/+ 10%)
• 1-2 sentence elevator pitch (no more than 200 characters – spaces do not count towards this total)
• A 50-word author bio to tell us who you are and why you wrote your manuscript (in third person)
• Your book title
• Your genre
• Your social media handles/author website (optional)

Please make sure your submission is:

• Uploaded as a Word document
• Left Aligned
• Double Spaced
• Times New Roman font
• Font size 12
• Contains no special characters (italics are allowed)

If your submission doesn’t meet these guidelines, we will not be able to include it in the anthology. If you’d like further help with presenting your manuscript professionally, please click here. 

Last year, more than 30% of our students received a full manuscript request from the anthology alone, so what are you waiting for?

Deadline for submission: Monday, 31 March 2025
