She is also interested in manuscripts inspired by inanimate objects and artefacts.

The winner will also receive a critique from literary agent Cathryn Summerhayes from Curtis Brown. The runner up will receive a creative writing course at Ty Newydd and the third prize is a two-night stay at Gladstone's Library.
Each entry costs £12.
