 About Brit Writers Awards

Brit Writers is an exciting initiative to encourage and inspire unpublished and self-published writers of all ages.

Brit Writers was launched in 2009 by Imran Akram, the founder of the now internationally acclaimed Muslim Writers’ Awards (MWA).

Having achieved great things with MWA in just a few years, Brit Writers is now sharing the energy, excitement and community-building potential of a huge writing competition with the rest of the world. In line with our vision, we’ve created an international writing awards event that accepts entries from people of all backgrounds and all ages. Our first ever competition attracted over 21,000 entries from Brits in 92 different countries.

Our inaugural ceremony took place on Thursday 15 July 2010 at The 02, London, where nine previously unpublished writers were honoured with prizes. Catherine Cooper, a former teacher from Shropshire, was our Unpublished Writer of the Year, securing £10,000 and a publishing deal for her children’s novel The Golden Acorn. The winner of the Unpubished Writer of the Year 2011 was Georgina Kirk for her lovely book, Once Upon a Princess… You can watch the awards evening from our homepage.

Submissions for 2012 are now closed. Not only do we want you to share your writing with the rest of the world, but we’d love to reward you for doing so – with international acclaim for the shortlisted entrants and a fabulous £10,000 prize for the overall winner.
