2,000 words or less (shouldn't this be fewer? call yourself a bookshop)
Writers have to be "over 18 and haven’t had fiction professionally published before"
What does that mean exactly? What kind of fiction? A short story in a mag? That's paid?
Judged by: Waterstone’s booksellers; the Books Quarterly and Waterstones.com teams; Arvon Centre Director Claire Berliner; Editorial Director Will Atkins of Pan Macmillan and its top Macmillan New Writing discoveries, James McCreet, Ann Weisgarber and Brian McGilloway:
Prize: Publication in the October issue of Books Quarterly; a publisher’s lunch at Pan Macmillan; £200 worth of Pan Macmillan books; a week-long creative writing course at the Arvon Foundation.
Fee: Free
Deadline: 1 July 2010
See the website.
They say:
Entrants cannot have had fiction professionally published previously: specifically, ‘professionally published’ meaning in book or eBook format produced by a professional publisher and available to the general public for a charge. This definition excludes self-published books or stories published in newspapers or magazines, but includes anthologies.
