Happy to announce I've founded a new prize for UK writers - the RSL Scriptorium Awards - which offers my pension-investment cottage on the Kent coast to writers for free for up to a month each. Applications open Spring 2025. A jury will choose the writers & I will have zero involvement in the selection. For more details, follow @RSLiterature, visit their website, and check out this Guardian article. Sadly, due to ongoing attacks, I have to state that this is a philanthropic gesture, I am offering the cottage for free & further supporting the prize & I am, therefore, of course, in no way earning any income from it. (I know, go figure) I have set up several literature inclusion projects over the decades (look under 'Community' on my website) & this one shares the Booker Bounty!
