Now in its third year, the Caledonia Novel Award is open for entries to the 2017 prize.
The international award, worth £1,000, is for unpublished and self-published novelists. This year there is an additional prize, which will be awarded to the best novel submitted by a writer from the UK and Ireland, of a free place on a creative writing course at Moniack Mhor during 2017. This year’s judge is Richard Pike, who is a literary agent at Curtis Brown.
Entries can be novels in any genre for adults or young adults. All entries must be original and at least 50,000 words. Shortlisted authors will be asked to submit their full novel manuscript by 6 December 2016. Entrants may be agented, but must not be agented by Curtis Brown.
