Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize 2025
Deadline: Fri 31 Jan 2025
Founded in 2010, by Professor Janet Todd OBE and now going into its 15th year, DBE, the Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize is renowned for championing and launching the careers of exceptional women writers.

The Prize is awarded to a novel written by a woman over the age of 18 living in the UK or Ireland that combines literary merit with compelling readability. 

The work can be on any subject at all. We welcome submissions of literary fiction and genre fiction equally. Novels for young adults or children are acceptable if they are mainly word-based; picture books are excluded.

The winner will receive a £1,500 prize, and all shortlisted authors will benefit from a one-on-one consultation with a literary agent at prize sponsor WME, including editorial feedback and invaluable publishing advice.
