Cornerstones: The Bath Novel Awards are open for submission!
Get your entry for the Bath Novel Award in by the end of the month, and the Children's Novel Award by the end of November
Dear authors,
We hope you are well and enjoying the sunshine!
As sponsors of the Bath Novel Awards we thought you might like to know their 2024 prizes are open for submissions. As well as the £5,000 top prize, all listees win feedback worth £180 each from our editorial director Monica Chakraverty, and the longlist prize is a place on the industry-leading online course Edit Your Novel the Professional Way (worth £1,980). The Bath Novel Award is open for adult and YA submissions until the 31st of May with Catherine Cho of Paper Literary judging. The Bath Children's Novel Award is open until November 30th for children's and teen novels, chapter books and picture book texts. Both prizes are open worldwide, with sponsored places available and full details at www.bathnovelaward.co.uk.
Not sure if you’re ready to submit? Feel free to send us your opening ten pages and synopsis for our free, no obligation feedback, and we can help with any qualms!
Very best,
The Cornerstones Team
Can you share a link for the free feedback of the first ten pages please? 🙏🏻
With the submissions, I worry that my writing such as spelling or grammar might be a bit weak (it is my weakpoint) for a submission. Would this hamper my chances or is it best to present a highly edited 5,000 word submission?
