Emerging Author Dagger – Additional Information Request

Please submit this form no later than midday Monday 27 April.

Please answer the questions below honestly. The fairness of the competition depends on everyone following the rules. We have to ask the questions below to ensure the competition remains fair for all entrants, which we hope you understand.

If you should find you’ve inadvertently broken the rules, don’t worry, there is no penalty – except loss of entry fee – but this is your chance to let us know before it matters.

Your eligibility for shortlisted status depends on your answers to these questions.

Please note:

• We are not concerned with non-fiction.
• We are not concerned with work produced for stage, radio or film, or for performance-led work on digital platforms, or short written pieces on a public online forum or podcast. Nor are we concerned with poetry. Having any of these produced or published does not make you ineligible.
• We are not concerned with work that has been published privately and not been on sale to the general public, for example private writers’ circle anthologies or a novel self-published for friends and family only.
• The only agents we are concerned with are literary agents.

If you have any questions or are in any doubt, please email Dea Parkin.
