Share your story: Enter the Page Turner Awards to spotlight your writing

The renowned Page Turner Awards, an international writing competition that celebrates exceptional storytelling, proudly announces its opening to submissions for the 2024 season.

Now in its fifth year, Page Turner Awards welcomes British authors, novelists, and scriptwriters from all walks of life to showcase their writing talent and gain recognition. 

From the enchanting, mysterious hills of Scotland to the vibrant heartbeat of London, the United Kingdom has a rich tapestry of stories waiting to be told. The contest beckons British writers to unveil their rich tapestry of stories, and breathe life into the tales that echo through its diverse cultural traditions.

Three distinct categories
The competition encompasses three distinct categories: the Book Award for published works, the Writing Award for unpublished manuscripts, and the Screenplay Award for unproduced scripts.

A distinguished judging panel, comprising different industry experts, including literary agents, publishers, and film producers, looking for scripts to option, will meticulously assess each submission, ensuring that the highest standards of literary excellence are upheld. Once reviewed, they will select the winners, who will receive a range of valuable prizes, including book deals, literary consultations, and more.

Two new Equality Awards
In its commitment to promoting diversity and inclusivity, Page Turner Awards is introducing two new Equality Awards: the Culture Award and the Phoenix Award. 

The Culture Award will recognise a work that celebrates diversity and promotes understanding between different cultures. 

The Phoenix Award will honour a writer who has overcome adversity and emerged with stronger writing.
