Here’s your chance to win a one-to-one session with a literary agent"},"content":{"rendered":"

Do you have a brilliant idea for a book but need help getting it down on paper? GH has teamed up with literary agent Nelle Andrew from Rachel Mills Literary agency<\/a> to give readers the chance to win valuable feedback on their writing, plus support in finishing their novel. <\/p>\n

Related Story<\/p>\n

We\u2019re after someone whose work is unpublished and is without a literary agent. Entries can be in any genre of adult fiction (not children\u2019s or YA, short stories, poetry, drama or plays, or any non-fiction). The winning entry will be the one that grabs our attention, shows the most promise and leaves us wanting to read more. <\/p>\n

First prize is \u00a31,500, plus a one-onone, hour-long mentoring session with Nelle, and an extract will be published by GH online. Six readers will get written feedback from a literary agent. So get writing! <\/p>\n

How to enter<\/p>\n

Please send three chapters (or the first 50 pages, whichever is longer), plus a brief synopsis of your novel (no more than one A4 page) and a short 100-word biography, all double-spaced in 12pt type, to Hermione Rodgers (hermione@rmliterary.co.uk). Competition opens on 26 June 2025 and closes at 23.59 on 31 August 2025.<\/p>\n
