Run this year in association with Legend Press and judged by acclaimed author Deepa Anappara, the competition for final places has been fierce. Speaking of the experience, Deepa said 'It was a privilege and a pleasure to read the submissions for the Book Edit Writers’ Prize. There was immense variety in style, genre, and form, and I found each extract to be engaging, entertaining and immersive. My congratulations to the winners and everyone who submitted - I wish them all good luck with their writing.’ 

Huge congratulations to our all winners. And watch this space for more about the authors, their novels and future writing careers.
