Fresher is a small publishing press established at Bournemouth University to nurture the publishing talent of the future and encourage writers everywhere. The team is made up of staff, students of our MA Creative Writing and Publishing and BA English, and our wonderfully supportive executive board which includes Commissioning Editors, agents, authors and publishing consultants.

We do not currently publish unsolicited works, however, our annual writing prize gives emerging writers the chance to showcase their work in front of some of the best in the publishing industry, win some great prizes and, maybe, be published in one of our associated anthologies. For more details head to our Competitions page.

On the same page, you will see details of our Young Writers Prize. This is open to children of eleven years and under, who can submit their short stories and poems online and be in with a chance of winning fabulous book prizes.

Competitions

“When I entered your competition I never dreamed that I would win, but was struck by what amazing opportunities were being offered. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that I would not only win, but be introduced to two such prominent figures in the publishing industry, who have both been incredibly supportive and positive, not only about my short story Cyfannedd Fach but also about my novel”.

“I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for opening up these opportunities for me, and no matter what happens next, I will be eternally grateful for the position that you have put me in.” Hannah Persaud – former winner of the Short Story prize.

The Writing Witches

Writing-Witches-03
Why not invite our Writing Witches to come to your school and share their story-writing spells? Fresher has devised a FREE wicked workshop to show children just how easy writing stories can be. Armed with a cauldron and a wand or two, the Writing Witches will help identify all the ingredients needed for conjuring up truly magical stories. Expect potions for prose, chants for confidence and spells that are NOTHING to do with spelling!
