A competition for unpublished and unagented female writers in the UK and Ireland, any genre of novel and no need to have written the whole book! It's open now, and closes on 13 January 2025. No payment required.

I'm not sure how many women writers we have on Chrons nowadays, but the good news is the organisers specifically confirm that:
Since they're looking for "potential" rather than polished work, and a maximum of only 10k of the opening to be submitted, I might try and scrumble up a few more chapters and a rough synopsis of one of my barely-begun fantasies.
Good luck anyone who does enter, and let us know how you get on!
