New Zealand writers have until
the 31 May, 2014 to enter their uplifting work into The Ashton Wylie Charitable
Trust Published Book Award for their chance to win $10,000.
The award recognises exceptional
published writing talent in the Mind Body Spirit genre with one of the largest
prizes awarded for literature in New Zealand.
In the 11th year of
the awards, spokesperson for The Ashton Wylie Charitable Trust, Adonia Wylie is
encouraging local writers to enter their published books into the prestigious
award.
“Entry numbers grow each year,
showing the popularity of the topic and we always find it fascinating to read
the works entered, and widen our understanding of the field.
“There’s always great work in the
Mind Body Spirit genre and we want to both recognise and reward those in the
field for their outstanding writing,” she says.
To be eligible for the $10,000
award, published books must be submitted by 31 May 2014, should be 48 pages or
longer and must have been published between 1 April 2013 and 31 March 2014. Writers must also be New Zealand residents or
permanent residents residing in the country.
In
addition to the Unpublished Manuscript Award category, The Ashton Wylie
Charitable Trust is also presenting a $10,000 award to the author of an
uplifting published manuscript. Entries for this category closed on 31 March,
2014.
Both awards will be presented at
