NOVEL COMP
The Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize 2025
The major prize for undiscovered female writers is inviting entries.
The Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize, which is now in its 15th year, is given annually for novel manuscripts by unpublished, unagented women and non-binary writers from the UK and Ireland that combine literary merit with unputdownability. Novels may be literary fiction or fiction in any genre, and may be for adults, young adults or children.
