THE WINNER will receive a bursary of £2,000 towards the MA in Creative Writing (Novels) at City University London.
All entries will have the chance to be read by agents at David Higham Associates.
David Higham Associates were established in 1935 and represent an outstanding range of writers across all genres. They are committed to finding and nurturing new talent.
