Exciting, rigorous, rewarding!

From the start the process is well organised and professional, and the works chosen to go through from

Finally! A new Credible Award

Page Turner Awards Brings Out Your Best

I submitted to the 2021 Page Turner Awards competition as a completely unknown writer. What amazed me about the whole process, above all else, was the personal touch of the PTA team.

When I saw this contest, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. All I knew was that I had to give it a try. I have always been a little down on myself when it came to my writing. Lately, I have been trying to step out of my comfort zone and step into a few places in my world that may be

One of the best critiques I've received to date!

David's critique was helpful. His comments showed he had carefully read my work and his suggestions were thoughtful. He balanced praise and criticism in a way that was not patronizing and gave me insight into other possible approaches to the beginning of my novel. I wouldn't mind working with him
