Entries are invited now for two of The Crime Writers’ Association’s awards open to unpublished authors, The CWA Debut Dagger Award and the Margery Allingham Short Story Competition.
• The CWA Debut Dagger Award is open to any writer who has not yet published a crime novel commercially. There is a first prize of £500, and the winning novel is seen by leading agents and publishers. Many winners and shortlisted writers have found agents and publishing deals in the wake of their Debut Dagger success. All the shortlisted writers will receive a professional assessment of their entries.
