Bloomsbury Mentorship Programme 2024 In case anyone here is a writer of fiction and would be in a position to benefit from the prize which involves a mentor and other things. Those with a disability are listed among other underrepresented backgrounds eligible to apply. "Submissions for the Bloomsbury Mentorship Programme 2024 open on 9 September 2024 and close on 15 October 2024. If you are a debut fiction writer based in the UK from a background underrepresented in publishing – we want to read your stories! All you need to submit is 2,000 words of an unpublished short story or novel written for adults and a 500-word synopsis. It can be in any genre except poetry. All entries can be submitted via this page – the link will go live on 9 September. What’s on offer is not a book deal, but instead a year-long mentorship with a Bloomsbury editor who will help you develop your work further, and help you on your path to publication."
