Calling all fledgling writers! There are just a few more weeks to go until the Brit Writers’ Awards Unpublished 2010 deadline on Friday 26 February.

Have you written a brilliant short story, novel, poem or song that deserves to be shared with the world? The inaugural Brit Writers’ Awards offers £10,000 and a valuable literary platform to the best undiscovered writer in the UK. It aims to nurture a love for creative writing in people across the length and breadth of the UK, opening the door to what is often perceived as our ‘inaccessible’ publishing industry.

Good As Gold has been working with the Brit Writers team for the past nine months, helping them to create - among other things - resources for teachers and new writers. Here’s a sneak preview: a downloadable help sheet called Getting started: ideas and inspiration (PDF opens in a new window).
