New Voices 2020- A Novel First Page

Hello Scribblers

This competition/ opportunity is for writers who have already embarked on the first stages of writing a novel. New Voices want to help with that process, by finding a winning entry to receive a start-up mentoring package. This package is a mini-masterclass, covering everything you need to know about writing a novel, including a consultation and manuscript appraisal.
The competition is aimed at those who have written at least the first fifty pages of a novel. The deadline for entry is 14th Septemebr 2020. The idea is that you use the time until the deadline to get those fifty pages in tip-top condition.
To enter New Voices 2020, send in a one-page synopsis of your novel, and the first page only.
Follow the link below to find out more about entry requirements and how to enter.

This is a very interesting competition for those with a winning idea, who may just need a helping hand to get it in better shape for sending out into the world, on completion.
The picture of published novels used to promote the competition even has our very own Scribbler Ruth Dugdall's book 'The Sacrificial Man' nestled in- inspiration indeed!

Good luck and keep scribbling!
