Entries are eligible from writers who have never had a publishing contract for a novel of any kind (over 20,000 words) and who don’t have an agent when the competition closes at the end of February. Entrants may not have self-published their entry or any other piece of writing of over 20,000 words unless it was removed from public sale 5 years or more previous to the deadline date.
