Jewish Quarterly and JW3 Present The Amy Levy Prize



Jewish Quarterly and JW3 Present The Amy Levy Prize

The award is designed to create a platform for writing by and/or about Jewish communities, life and culture. With a cut-off age of 30, it will be the first international Jewish writing prize specifically aimed at making a difference in the early career of young writers.

A distinguished panel of judges will be headed by Naomi Alderman, winner of the Orange Prize for New Writing.

The award will be made in summer 2015 and prizes will include a cash prize of £1000, one week’s writers’ residency, and one year’s mentoring by prize-winning novelist and writer, Naomi Alderman. Application details will be published on the JQ and JW3 websites. Submissions open on September 14th.

Come to the launch event, at 8.15pm on Sunday 14 Sep, at JW3. Linda Grant will join Naomi Alderman for a discussion of British Jewish writing.
