Hello,
It’s that time of year when we are busy finalising our international author line-up for the next Festival and finding it hard to not let slip who has said yes! But finding the best international talent to speak at the Festival is not all we do. Part of our mission is finding and nurturing local talent. We know from our past success stories that there is talent right at our doorstep.
The Montegrappa Writing Prize for first-time novelists has seen seven talented writers from the UAE secure publishing deals so far! This month, we are featuring a few of our success stories to encourage you to make this year the one where you follow your writing dream.
And there are plenty of writing opportunities for young talent too, with our annual Student Writing Competitions already open for submissions.
So, if you are an aspiring author, or know any talented young writers, take a look at our writing competitions. |
