Adult Writing Competition



Gold Coast Writers Festival Writing CompetitionThe Adult Writing Competition this year is something different! Instead of submitting a short story anonymously, the competition asks for a book proposal which includes information about the author’s platform (or their plans for developing one), and a couple of sample chapters from the book (a completed manuscript or one under development). Entries will be assessed on the quality of writing, the book proposal, and the potential for success of the book if published.
