My novel has been longlisted for Myriad Editions First Drafts Competition

My novel has been longlisted for Myriad Editions First Drafts Competition

Very exciting news arrived in my inbox the other day – my work in progress, a novel, has been longlisted by Myriad Editions for their First Drafts competition.

First Drafts is an ‘annual event organised by Myriad to uncover exceptional new voices’. There are very few competitions that can be entered with a first draft or work in progress and apparently they had three times more entries than last year, so I’m very fortunate to be on the longlist!

I would love to win this competition, as the prize is a week-long writer’s retreat and editorial help as well as mentoring from an established author. But it’s an honour to be on the longlist in itself and makes me even more determined to stay on the path I’m on and continue writing full-time. Thank you to First Drafts for the amazing boost to my confidence as a writer.

I'm a writer studying for an MA in Creative Writing at Birkbeck. I am the author of several short stories published in anthologies and online and am currently working on a novel. In the past I worked as a digital marketer and was the founder of an eco store for families (Mimimyne). Previous to that I worked in TV and radio as a script editor, researcher and producer. I love coffee, the Internet, kickboxing, art and books.
