The Prolitzer Prize for Prose writing 2012

Returned from Skye (as staggeringly beautiful as I remember) to discover I’ve been asked to judge this year’s “Prolitzer Prize” by the fabulous Prole Books. Open to writers of fiction and creative non-fiction, the prizes include cash and publication in the magazine, which is actually more like a book, a sort of mini-Granta.

Very honoured to be given such responsibility – and I can’t wait to read some of the fantastic new writers that are out there. Although the deadline is 1st October 2012 you can enter right now – so stop reading this and start writing your own stuff!
