Think you’ve got what it takes to write for ELLE magazine? Then start typing. In 2017, there’s never been a better time for the next generation of women to make their voices be heard. \ We’re on the lookout for fiction’s next superstar. Here at ELLE, we think emerging talent deserves all the support it can get, and we have a real soft spot for a great storyteller. So, we want you to show us your best work of fiction in our first-ever ELLE Writing Competition. If your dream involves being the next Jane Harper, Liane Moriarty or Zoë Foster Blake, now is the time to get started. OVER TO YOU Write a 4,000-word short story on the topic of your choice. Where you choose to take it is up to you. Fall in love, rule the country or walk a day in Beyoncé’s shoes. The aim is to move the judges, whether they laugh, cry (or cringe). Deadline for entries is November 3, so if you’ve got a story to tell, go on and get telling it. The winning fiction will be published in the January issue of ELLE Australia, and the author awarded a $5,000 prize. Two runners-up will receive a prize pack of recent releases from Hachette Australia worth $200. THE JUDGES Clockwise from top-left: Justine Cullen, ELLE's editor-in-chief; Zoë Foster Blake, editor, columnist and author of The Wrong Girl (among other fiction books); Vanessa Radnidge, publisher at Hachette Australia; and Michael Williams, Director of The Wheeler Centre for Books, Writing and Ideas |
