Calling for published and unpublished writing

The Page Turner Awards, sponsored by ProWritingAid, have launched and many of the categories will be of interest to our community members. 

Prizes including publishing contracts, audio-book productions and film rights options are up for grabs for the winners.

Success stories from last year’s awards include three writers winning literary representation, six writers winning a writing mentorship, five writers winning a publishing contract and thirteen independent authors winning an audiobook production.

The Page Turner Awards consists of five different awards:

The Book Award, which is open to any published books, whether traditionally published or self-published.

The Writing Award, which is open to all unpublished and completed manuscripts.

The Screenplay Award, which is open to all completed scripts and screenplays.

The Young Writer Award, which is open to any writer aged between 18 and 25.

The Writing Mentorship Award, which is open to any writer with an unpublished and uncompleted manuscript.

Over the summer, a panel of literary agents and publishers, including Paul Michael Glaser of Starsky and Hutch fame, will choose a winner in each category based on the first ten pages of your manuscript. The winners of these incredible prizes will be announced in September. You won’t want to miss this opportunity! 

You can get £10 off of the standard entry fee on all entries before February 28th. Entries after that are £30. Enter at https://pageturnerawards.com/
