What New England Writers’ Centre are looking for:
New England Writers’ Centre welcome manuscripts at any stage of development from writers living in the Federal Electorate of New England (see https://www.aec.gov.au/profiles/nsw/new-england.htm) who are at any point in their career, and working in any form of literary creation.
This includes fiction, drama, poetry, children’s books, and narrative non-fiction.
Artistic merit is the most important criterion for our assessors, who are looking for strongly written characters, sound structure, compelling themes and a distinctive and engaging voice.
Our assessors also consider the potential of the manuscript, based on the experience of the writer and their work plan.
