The SI Leeds Literary Prize for unpublished fiction by black and Asian women writers in the UK is now accepting entries for 2014. The prize runs biennially and the first award was made in October 2012 to Minoli Salgado’s A Little Dust on the Eyes, at the Ilkley Literature Festival. Three prize winners will receive £2,000, £750 and £250 for first, second and third place respectively, plus support through Peepal Tree Press’s Inscribe programme for writer development. The first prize entry receives serious consideration for publication by Peepal Tree Press. Bonnie Greer OBE, Bernardine Evaristo, Bidisha and Yasmin Alibhai-Brown are just a few of its patrons.
Deadline: 14 April 2014
