Writers from across the Commonwealth must submit entries by 15 November 2009
The 2010 Commonwealth Writers' Prize, the global prize for fiction for both established and new writers, has opened for entry.
The two categories, for Best Book, worth £10,000 to the overall winner, and Best First Book, worth £5,000 to the overall winner, are open to published writers from across the 53 countries of the Commonwealth.
The Prize, now in its 24th year, celebrates cutting-edge fiction across four regions of the Commonwealth: Africa; Canada and the Caribbean; South Asia and Europe; and South-East Asia and the Pacific. Last year more than 350 entries were received - with the regional winners emerging from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, South Africa and the UK.
