We are delighted to be able to announce the shortlist and the winners of the Fresher Writing Prize 2020. You can find more details below.

WELCOME TO FRESHER PUBLISHING

Fresher is a publishing press, established at Bournemouth University to nurture the publishing talent of the future and encourage new writers everywhere. It is also central to the university’s MA in Creative Writing and Publishing.

The Fresher Writing Prize is an annual competition open to all previously unpublished, emerging writers of fiction and poetry. Judges each year include senior figures from the publishing industry, who offer a one-to-one or feedback on winners’ work as part of their prize. We also run the Writing Wizardry Prize for children of 11 years and under.

Please do keep in touch here, or via Facebook/Twitter/Instagram, for details of the Prize, our publications and other special writing-related events.

Please note, we do not currently accept any other work for publication. Unfortunately, as we are a very small publishing house, we are unable to offer any work experience placements.

Best wishes – Emma

About the Book

Capture was written by Emily Dinova,  the 2015 winner of the playwriting category of the Fresher Writing Prize. The play, which has already been staged off-Broadway, considers the plight of a young woman in an abusive relationship through a series of often emotionally brutal, confrontational scenes, monologues and memory flashbacks. There’s a cast of three main characters and three smaller parts.
