The winner will receive a £50,000 publishing deal with Bonnier Zaffre and specialist advice from literary agency Furniss Lawton.

Submissions should be novels for adult readers. Most fiction genres are accepted but the competition is not looking for science fiction and fantasy, or children's and teenage fiction.
Shortlisted novels must be at least 80,000 words long, and completed by 12 December 2016.
The closing date to enter Richard and Judy Search for a Bestseller 2016 is 31 May.
