The Halstead Press Prize for the Best Reject
Many great books have been rejected by publishers. Publication is not necessarily related to literary quality.
Canberra’s new publisher, Halstead Press, wants to unearth manuscripts by local* writers that have slipped through the nets.
The inaugural Halstead Press Prize for the Best Reject will be awarded to an exceptional unpublished non-fiction book.
The prize will be judged by Brian Cook Manuscript Appraisal Agency. For information about the services provided by the Agency, click here. |
