Now in their second year, the Sky Arts RSL Writers Awards are focused on discovering and nurturing talented emerging writers of colour. Working across different literary forms, the scheme has been developed in order to counteract the under-representation of UK writers of colour. Five Awards are available, providing each winner with ten free mentoring sessions over the course of 12 months, as well as two sessions with Awards Ambassador Bernardine Evaristo.

Deadline

midnight on Sunday 31 July.

Three Awards, RSL Open now open for submissions – Royal Society of Literature (rsliterature.org)
