Winner of the Luke Bitmead Writer’s Bursary 2011

The Luke Bitmead Bursary Award was set up shortly after Luke’s untimely death in 2006 by his family to support and encourage the work of fledgling novel writers, with the top prize being a publishing contract with Legend Press, as well as a very generous cheque for £2500.

Luke is the author of the brilliant White Summer (the first novel to be published by Legend Press) and co-author of Heading South. I am the third winner of the Bursary, after Andrew Blackman and Ruth Dugdall and, while it’s a daunting prospect to have to follow them, it is an honour to be in such great company. To be able to continue to support new writers, it needs financial help from the public. Read more about the Bursary.
