Fresher

WELCOME TO FRESHER PUBLISHING

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

The Bournemouth Writing Prize is an annual, international competition open to any 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
