2024 WM Novel & Picture Book Awards Shortlist
We are delighted to announce the shortlists for this year’s WriteMentor Novel & Picture Book Awards, sponsored by Bonnier Books UK.
Those listed below will have their entries read by our agent/editor judging panels. We wish you all the very best of luck!
And congratulations to our longlistees who didn’t make it this time. Many of our previously long listed authors have gone onto sign with agents and get major publishing deals, so I’m certain this is not the end of anything, but the start of something for you.
