May be of interest to someone here. I'm not intending to enter this one; the prize includes representation from an agency with no clients I recognise, and an place on an Arvon writing course. I recall reading a Monique Roffey book in which she wrote about her position as a tutor on Arvon writing courses. She's one of the worst writers I've ever had the misfortune to read, so I'm inclined to think you'd finish the course worse than you started.

But she's one person, so maybe they have competent writers too, idk, and maybe other people here read more than I do, and will recognise this agency's clients. So I've linked the compo despite my raised eyebrows! :)

Sorry, misspoke; "no clients I recognise" should be "only one client I recognise" (Maggie O'Farrell). Haven't read her yet but do at least know her name.

The rest stands. Arvon course strikes this dan as a punishment, not a reward.
