The Wheeler Centre has launched a major new initiative, The Next Chapter.
Each year, The Next Chapter judges will pick ten outstanding writers and give them $15,000 each to develop their work. The scheme will match them with a mentor who will work closely with them on bringing their writing to life, connecting them with peers, publishers and readers.
Writers will be assessed on a writing sample, a 300 word or less pitch and a one page letter of support from someone who can vouch for the entrant’s commitment to writing. They don’t need a university English degree, industry connections or even to have been published before.
Applications and nominations open 9am Friday 4 May and close 5pm Friday 13 July 2018.
