New book prize to award aspiring writer 75,000 for first three pages of novel
Briefly

The Next Big Story competition, hosted by The Novelry, is offering a significant prize of $75,000 to aspiring writers based on their initial three pages of a novel. Judged by notable figures like Emma Roberts, Julia Quinn, and Yann Martel, this initiative aims to support writers who face barriers in publishing. The competition welcomes all aspiring authors, encouraging them to engage with their creative impulses. The winner will also receive a year of support in developing their literary ideas into complete works.
There's nothing more euphoric than being immersed in the world of a good book and to get lost in the words of a brilliant author.
We all need stories to make the world new, and I'm looking forward to seeing what's out there.
When it comes to writing fiction, the barriers to engagement seem so high. So many self-exclude and find it hard to get the nerve to even try their hand.
We want to change that with an extraordinary prize that rewards the mischief of that moment and the impulse of creativity.
