Wellcome Collection Non-Fiction Awards 2025 Launched
Deadline: Mon 11 Nov 2024
Spread the Word and Wellcome Collection have launched the Wellcome Collection Non-Fiction Awards, following a successful pilot programme run in 2022. The new project aims to find and support writers from underrepresented groups, who have a big idea for a non-fiction book for general readers, that engages with the themes of health and being human.
Up to six writers will be selected for a nine-month development programme to expand their non-fiction ideas to full-length book proposals.
Judged by award-winning science journalist and author, Angela Saini and novelist and poet, Daisy Lafarge, the programme will offer each writer a £2,000 bursary, mentoring with an author, five masterclasses on writing non-fiction, insight and industry days and the opportunity to meet with agents. In addition, there will be a public programme of masterclasses and panel events to offer a wider range of support to aspiring non-fiction writers.
Each writer will also be offered one-to-one sessions with Wellcome Collection’s publishing team, research specialists and Stories editorial teams.
Open to 18+, UK-based unpublished and unagented writers who are disabled and/or global majority.

Deadline: Monday 11 November 2024, 5pm
