Unpublished Manuscript Award at the Emerging Writers’ Festival Launch
The Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for an Unpublished Manuscript is much-anticipated … most winners (and shortlistees) have found publication.
The prize itself is substantial, too – the winner receives $15,000 in prize money.
Last year’s winner, Graeme Simsion, famously won a worldwide, million-dollar-plus publishing deal for his quirky romantic comedy The Rosie Project.
Join us for the opening night of the Emerging Writers’ Festival, where Graeme will officially pass the baton, announcing the winner of the 2013 prize, presented by Heidi Victoria, Minister for the Arts.
Poet Astrid Lorange will deliver a special keynote address to mark the occasion of the tenth Emerging Writers’ Festival.
Join the Wheeler Centre and the Emerging Writers’ Festival on a night that celebrates new writing talent – and showcases the next generation of writing stars.
