The CAL Scribe Fiction Prize

After the overwhelming success of the inaugural CAL Scribe Fiction Prize, we are pleased to announce that the prize money in 2011 has been increased to $15,000. The winning novel will also be published by Scribe.

Once again, we are searching for the best unpublished manuscript by a writer aged 35 or over. Entries open on 1 August, and you can now download an entry form.

This year, as a means of reducing paper wastage, we are encouraging writers to submit electronically. Email info@scribepub.com.au with the following attached as Word documents or RTFs:

    * your full manuscript
    * a synopsis of your manuscript (up to 300 words)
    * an author bio (up to 50 words).

Then post your completed entry form to us, including your payment details for the $40 entry fee.

(If you cannot submit your entry electronically, you may post us a hard copy of your manuscript, synopsis, bio and entry form instead.)

Entries close on 15 September.
