Sponsorship To keep our competition as inclusive as possible we welcome low income writers, full-time carers, students in full-time education and writers from underrepresented backgrounds. All voices deserve a chance to be heard. With this in mind, we invite you to help us fund these free of charge and discounted places, which we offer on application. There are a limited number available across all competitions and it is only possible for us to offer these through sponsorship. Please donate by clicking the ‘Book’ button. Thank you Thank you so much in advance for your kindness. Your sponsorship really will enable a writer to take part, helping us make the I Am Writing Competitions as accessible and diverse as possible. What's special about the I Am Writing Competitions? * To ensure that more genres have an opportunity, there are twelve competitions to choose from. * Each genre is judged by a professional literary agent / publisher as the sole reader - so an agent or publisher reads all entries in their category, including yours! We do not use readers to narrow down the entries before they reach the judge, making this competition very unique. * Each competition will have its own shortlist, giving more writers the opportunity to receive praise for their writing skills. * The entry fee is kept as low as possible at £13 per entry. In order to be as transparent as possible, a summary of how we finance the competitions is on the I Am In Print website. * A range of prizes are on offer, from cash prizes and book tokens, to an online Agent121 or publisher feedback meeting. Details of the prizes for each competition are on our website. The competitions close on 22 May 2025 at 12pm BST. Full details can be found here: www.iaminprint.co.uk/competitions-2025/ Thank you for your interest and support of our competition. And if you are entering, good luck!
