Calling All Film Writers - Page Turner Awards is inviting film writers

The Page Turner Awards is an inclusive writing and book awards with one goal – to change the lives of as many writers as possible. The team at Page Turner Awards passionately believes that talented writers can be from any background, age, race, religion, or interest.

There are talented undiscovered writers in the global film community with undiscovered literary gems. Whether you have a non-fiction ‘how to’ guide, a tear-jerking memoir, a scandalous family drama, or the next-big-thing comedy, Page Turner Awards can’t wait to pass your story to their panel of influential literary judges, publishers and film producers.

If you’ve already written a film script, a television series, a manuscript or published a book and would like to reach a wider audience, you may want to enter for the possibility of winning a publishing deal, audiobook production or film rights option.

The inaugural Page Turner Awards was a huge success in terms of how many lives it changed.

Success stories include three writers winning literary representation, six writers winning a writing mentorship, five writers winning a publishing contract and thirteen independent authors winning an audiobook production.

The Page Turner Awards gives writers and authors the chance to enter unpublished or published fiction and non-fiction books, to be read by a carefully curated judging panel made up of influential players in the publishing industry. Prizes span everything from mentorships to audiobook production and publishing packages. Screenwriters may also get their film script optioned.

Founder of Page Turner Awards and award-winning novelist, Paula Wynne said: “There are writers from all walks of life, from manual labourers to academics, all with stories to tell, and most of them heart-warming and moving. We’re proud that our awards celebrate excellent writing and helps writers and authors to get their stories discovered.”

There is no doubt that the film community, with their variety of unique life experiences, have some excellent and fascinating stories and advice to share.

During the pandemic writers have been spending more time creating the stories they always dreamed they would tell. Page Turner Awards ran a survey of their writers and surprise findings showed that 61% of writers are able to write more since the pandemic started.

Submissions for 2021 are now open.
