Closing Date: June 30, 2017
In order to celebrate 25 years of teaching
creative writing, Bath Spa University is
seeking creative writers who can write a
novel using just 25 words. Yes, 25 words,
not lines. They align their thought with
Robert Southey who believes that when
words are compressed their meaning are
deeper and more penetrating.
The novel (25 words, don't forget) should
be such that is capable of convincing,
thrilling, exciting and or evoking emotion.
It is up to the writer how he tells the story.
And there is no genre restriction. The only
thing they are concerned with is the
amount of creativeness packaged inside the
word count.
The overall winner will be given a cash
prize of £500. The winning story and that
of two runners up will be voiced over by
Jeremy Irons, Oscar-winning actor and
Bath Spa University’s Chancellor. Winning
novels will be published online on ‘A Place
in Words’. Winners will receive invitation
to attend Bath Spa University's Creative
Writing Anthology launch in central
London on 15 September 2017.
