The George Markstein Fiction Prize
The competition is now open
Kingston Writing School is pleased to announce the launch of an exciting new writing prize in partnership with literary agency Marjacq Scripts. The prize is named after George Markstein the late co-founder of the agency who was a esteemed novelist and scriptwriter in the 1960s, 70s and early 80s, best known as a writer of thrillers and spy novels (and perhaps best of all as co-creator of THE PRISONER with the late Patrick McGoohan).

The Prize is open to all past and present Kingston University PG students of Creative Writing for works of fiction in any genre. Marjacq Scripts' agents will select three winners, who will receive trophies as part of Graduation Ceremonies in January 2015. The winners will also be considered for representation by the agency. Two runners-up will have their work professionally critiqued in a one-on-one meetings with an agent.
