Northern Writers' Awards 2021 open for entry
Deadline: Thu 18 Feb 2021
The Northern Writers’ Awards offer support for writers at all stages of their careers, including mentoring, developmental support and cash awards to buy time to write. Entry is free and open to writers based in the North of England.

The awards support both new and established writers to develop their work towards publication and to progress their careers as writers. For new writers, winning a Northern Writers’ Award can help to connect you to the publishing industry and to develop your work towards publication; for established writers, awards can help to buy time to write to support the development of new work and offer creative opportunities.

With high-profile literary judges and support and interest from across the publishing industry, the awards are now recognised nationally as a major talent-spotting programme that identifies and supports great writing and writers.

Judges for this year’s awards include the writers Jacob Ross, Cathy Rentzenbrink and Andrew McMillan.

Read the list of available awards here to help you decide which award best suits your writing.

Deadline: Thursday 18 February 2021

The Northern Writers’ Awards are produced by New Writing North and supported by Northumbria University and Arts Council England.
