Novel Fair 2022: 20 Free Submission Places

We are delighted to offer 20 free submission places to Novel Fair 2022 for writers from underrepresented backgrounds. The usual fee of €55 will be waived for these selected writers.

We encourage writers from backgrounds typically underrepresented in Irish literature to apply. We particularly invite applications from Black, POC, Traveller, Roma, LGBTQIA+, disabled and working-class writers. We will place a strong focus on ethnicity, race, gender identity, sexuality and socioeconomic status when evaluating the applications for this opportunity.
