Creative writers are being invited to enter this year’s Page Turner Awards 2021.

The awards, launched last year, aim to change the lives of as many writers as possible, and from a wide range of backgrounds.

Awards founder and award-winning novelist, Paula Wynne said: “There are writers from all walks of life, from manual labourers to academics, all with stories to tell, and most of them heart-warming and moving. We’re proud that our awards celebrate excellent writing and helps writers and authors to get their stories discovered.”

Whether you have a memoir, a gasp-inducing thriller or the next-big-thing comedy screenplay, the awards will welcome your story for their panel of judges to consider.

As a result of last year’s awards, three writers won literary representation, six won a writing mentorship, five won a publishing contract and 13 independent authors gained an audiobook production.

The Page Turner Awards also claims to offer much more than a prize – it has created a supportive writing community and a ‘movement’ focused on author growth and development.

Submissions for 2021 are now open.
