Pulp Idol 2015 Competition Open!
THE Liverpool writing competition, for novelists,
'Pulp Idol', has already had 8 new writers published by major publishers
and is back again for another year! The writing competition is run by a well
supported local group called:- 'Writing on the Wall' whose
Co-Director, Mike Morris, told us:- "We have had great success from
previous finalists and hope that once again this competition provides an
inspiring opportunity for writers. We hope that it will get our winners more
than a foot through the door. Our aim is to support new writers by providing
those who win this year's competition with both help and exposure."
The prizes this year include:-
► Getting your work read by an
agent/publisher.
► Publication in a collection of 1st chapters by Writing on the Wall.
► The winner will have the chance to meet personally with a publisher/agent.
One of the major success stories of this
competition has lead to the finding of an exceptional new young British talent,
James Rice. Since his 2010 win, he has had 2 book deals with Hodder and
Stoughton, for his novel:- 'Alice and the Fly' (ISBN:
9781444790108). That novel was featured in the competition's winner's book,
called:- 'Firsts', published in 2011. He told us that:- "As
I say on the 'Writing on the Wall' website, I am truly indebted to this
competition. I think that Pulp Idol's a great way to help writers to develop and
if you win, to make connections within publishing industry. If you're serious
about writing, you should enter. You never know what will happen! Plus if you
don't win, try again and use it to focus your mind so you can develop your
talent!"
To enter you have to go
online.
The closing date for the competition is Monday, 6 April 2015 at 5pm.
