WHO IS THE COMPETITION AIMED AT?

"It doesn't have to be the truth, just your vision of it, written down." Virginia Woolf

• Women with an unfinished manuscript languishing in a bottom drawer. (Could this be the impetus you need to finish it?)
• Women who took up the write-a-novel-in-a-month challenge with NaNoWriMo and have a rough first draft. (Why not polish it up and send it to Mslexia?)
• Women who’ve submitted their completed novels over and over, and have despaired of finding an agent. (If you reach our shortlist, they’ll all sit up and take notice.)
• Women who’ve always wanted to write a novel, but could never find the time.
