Good Housekeeping has launched a novel writing competition for budding authors in association with Orion and agent Luigi Bonomi from Luigi Bonomi Associates. The competition appears in the magazine's January issue, which goes on sale today (1st December).
First prize is a £25,000 advance, help and advice from the editorial team at Orion Books and from agent Luigi Bonomi, plus the chance to have the winning book published and featured in Good Housekeeping. The three runners up will each receive an Advent Monza C1 laptop.
Launching in the January issue (on sale 1 December), the Good Housekeeping novel competition is looking for someone who's never had a novel published and entries can be in any genre - family saga, romance, adventure or crime/thriller - except children's literature.
A panel of Good Housekeeping and Orion Books literary experts including bestselling author, co-founder of the Orange Prize for Fiction and co-director of the Chichester Writing Festival Kate Mosse, top literary agent Luigi Bonomi, Orion Books Fiction Publishing Director Kate Mills and Good Housekeeping Editorial Director Lindsay Nicholson, will judge the competition with details of the winner being published in the August 2012 issue.
Good Housekeeping Editorial Director Lindsay Nicholson says, "We are delighted to be launching the Good Housekeeping Novel Competition, in association with Orion Books. From Jane Austen to Kate Mosse, Britain has produced some of the world's most successful and enduring authors, and in such a competitive world we're looking forward to discovering the UK's next big literary talent."
