I’m currently gathering insights from writers on competitions, prizes, and opportunities in today’s literary world.

As both a writer and someone deeply interested in how our writing community is supported, I wanted to hear directly from writers about what feels genuinely valuable, what feels discouraging, and what may still be missing.

Whether you’ve entered many competitions, never entered one, or feel sceptical of them altogether, your perspective is welcome.

The survey takes around 5 minutes to complete, and responses are anonymous.

Your input will help inform future thinking around how opportunities for writers can be designed with greater fairness, relevance, and value.

Thank you for taking part.
