Ireland and Britain’s hottest new writing talent hunt is heating up with the Nero New Writers Prize—now in its second year, it’s hunting unpublished authors for short stories, fiction, or narrative non-fiction up to 5,000 words. The winner walks away with £3,000, a Master’s scholarship at Brunel University, and a literary agent meeting—judged by Paul Murray, Helen Cullen, and Booker Prize winner Bernardine Evaristo. Plus, a new award for Brunel students. Entries close September 11 at nerobookawards.com. Meanwhile, the London Literature Festival kicks off October 21–November 1, curated by Dua Lipa with stars like Zadie Smith and Patti Smith. And for comedy lovers, Helen Lederer’s new podcast “Writing Funny” debuts weekly, exploring comedy writing with interviews and tips—especially for women.
