The London Library Emerging Writers Programme is now open for submissions for its seventh year. 

Geared towards supporting writers at the start of their career, the Programme is open to unpublished and unproduced writers of any discipline, over the age of 18 and from any background, who are committed to pursuing a career in writing and want to develop their work. 

Successful applicants will receive one year’s free membership of The London Library, alongside writing development masterclasses, networking opportunities, and peer support. They will be selected anonymously by a stellar panel of writers and literary agents. There is no application fee and participation on the Programme is funded by philanthropic donations. 

Applications close at 11am on Wednesday 26 February 2025.
