FINAL
CALL FOR 2023 AWARD SUBMISSIONS
The Bath Children's Novel Award closes tomorrow, Thursday 30
November at 23:59 GMT.
This is our prize for children's and YA novels,
chapter and picture book texts.
Jessica Hare of The Agency will choose this year's £3,000
winning book from a shortlist chosen by Junior Judges aged 7
to 17, with all shortlistees winning a compilation of the Junior
Judges' reports on their full manuscripts.
All listees win feedback from Cornerstones Editorial
Director and Head of Scouting Monica Chakraverty. One lucky
longlistee will also win a place worth £1,800 on an 18
week course with Cornerstones and Professional Writing
Academy.
"The Bath Novel Award is one of the most
professional and well run contests I’ve entered."
Hollie
Overton, author of Baby Doll, The Runaway and The Wal
"Getting
on the shortlist or the longlist puts you in a very strong
position when you’re querying with agents."
Matthew
Fox, author of The Sky Over Rebecca and The Lovely Dark
"My
BNA shortlisting played a vital part in securing my book
deal."
Eugene
Lambert, author of The Sign of One, Into
the No Zone and The Long Forever
“I would
enter the Bath Novel Awards every year if I could. One of the
best things I ever did.”
Catherine
Barter, author of Troublemakers and We Played with Fire
