Calling all Self-help Writers!
Page Turner Awards is inviting members of the self-help community to join their community of writers and get involved in the Page Turner Awards.
The Page Turner Awards, sponsored by ProWritingAid, is an inclusive writing and book awards with one goal – to change the lives of as many writers as possible. The Page Turner Awards passionately believes that talented writers can be from any background, age, race, religion, or interest.
Members of the self-help and self-care community contain talented writers and undiscovered literary gems. Whether you have a guide to overcoming adversity, a gasp-inducing thriller or the next-big-thing comedy, Page Turner Awards can’t wait to pass your story to their panel of influential literary agents, publishers and film producers.
The self-help genre is hugely up and coming as more and more people start to take an interest in their health and lifestyles.
If you have some wisdom to share on self-help, Page Turner Awards would love to see it. Your writing may even follow in the footsteps of successes like The Secret by Rhonda Byrne or The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F**k by Sarah Knight.
Or perhaps you want to help people to better understand themselves and their relationships, like Gary D. Chapman does in The Five Love Languages.
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The Page Turner Awards gives writers and authors the chance to enter unpublished or published fiction and non-fiction and screenplays to be read by a carefully curated judging panel made up of influential players in the publishing industry.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, publishing packages and film rights options.
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 members of the self-help community, with their unique life experiences and growth mindsets, will have some excellent and fascinating stories to share.
Submissions open every year in January and close in June of the same year.
