We are delighted to announce the winners of 2016’s City Novel Studio Competition.

In association with Christine Green Author’s Agency, the competition was open to unpublished novelists writing in any fictional genre for adults, but not non-fiction or fiction for children. Course Director, Emily Pedder, and Novel Studio Tutor, Emily Midorikawa, sifted through the numerous entries and have now made their final decisions. The winners are:

• Dinea Smith
• Lucy Smith
• Lucy Underhill

The course director said the standard of entries for this year’s Novel Studio competition was very high. “It’s always difficult to choose winners in a competition like this, but our finalists all had very fresh, distinctive voices and each piece made us hungry to read more.”
