Can I submit now?
No. The inaugural prize is still being built. Dates and complete terms will be announced before submissions open.
Will you accept international entries?
That is the plan. The pilot prize is being designed for unpublished English-language novels from writers anywhere in the world.
Will a person actually read my work?
Yes. The reading architecture will be staged so that every eligible entry is assessed by a paid human reader and complete manuscripts are read at the later stages.
Is “strange” code for “anything goes”?
Regrettably, no. The editorial standard will be extremely high.
