WHO YOU ARE

 

A new, unagented and unpublished UK or ROI based writer with a brilliant idea that belongs on the bookshelf of the future.

 

You are someone who feels that the publishing industry doesn’t adequately represent people from your background or with your experiences – and you want to change that. You might be from a BAME (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic) or LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer) community, from a socio-economically marginalised background, or have a disability.

 

It doesn’t matter if your book isn’t quite finished yet, or if you think it needs a bit of editing before it’s ready; we’re looking for someone who is committed to being a writer and who is ready to work hard to develop their idea.

 

If this sounds like you then we’d love to read your book. Please check our homepage for our latest initiatives.
