Mslexia’s Children’s Novel Competition is open for entries.
The winning writer will receive £5,000 and five finalists will be invited to attend a networking event with literary agents.
The competition is for unpublished women writers of fiction in any genre for children who can read for themselves or young adults. Crossover fiction is eligible. To qualify for entry, novels must be at least 15,000 words. Women writers who have selfpublished, or published other types of books than children’s fiction, may enter.
