KATHERINE TWEED
eniors with the gift of words have the opportunity to see their own novel published and read by potentially thousands thanks to National Seniors Australia. The over 50’s organisation has teamed up with publishing giant, Random House Australia to bring their Literary Prize back for 2014. Seniors are invited to enter a manuscript, with a minimum of 40,000 words, of their own work to go into the
running to win the prize, which includes a publishing deal. “The National Seniors Literary Prize 2014 will be awarded to a work of fic tion based on the theme of ‘reflections’,” said a representative from National Seniors Australia. “Random House and National Seniors are giving you the opportunity to be creative so this theme can be integrated into your storyline or your novel’s structure.” To enter, visit www.nationalseniors. com.au/be-rewarded/literary-prize before Friday, November 29, 2013.
