The Bluepencilagency First Novel Award 2018 is inviting entries.
The competition, which launched last year, is for unpublished and unrepresented authors who have a novel manuscript in any fiction genre. It will be judged by literary agent Madeleine Milburn and author Fiona Mitchell. The first prize is £1,000 and an introduction to Madeleine Milburn, and the second prize is £250 and a manuscript review by a Bluepencilagency editor.
