Mslexia is inviting entries for its Women’s Novel Competition 2017.
The competition is for novels by unpublished women writers. The winner will receive £5,000 and the winner and four finalists will receive manuscript feedback and introductions to agents and editors at a special event in London. This year’s judges are Philippa Gregory, literary agent Sarah Such and journalist and editor Alex Clark.
The competition welcomes entries from writers anywhere in the world. Writers entering the competition must not previously have published a novel, but may have published other types of books, ie poetry, memoir, non-fiction. Self-published novels are eligible.
