This is an amazing (and rare) opportunity for life writers. Although entries have not yet opened, they are due to sometime in November. In association with Goldsmiths Writers’ Centre, Spread the Word’s free-to-enter prize encourages emerging writers to submit a piece of writing that is reflective of their own life (i.e, not fiction). The terms and conditions? You cannot have had a full work published or be represented by a literary agent. £500 and some amazing mentoring are up for grabs, so keep an eye on Spread the Words’ Twitter page for any news!
