The Desperate Literature Prize keeps going way after the winners are announced. They really continue to champion your work; sending it to agents, putting you in touch with magazine editors, etc. I had so much fun in Madrid meeting the judges, other writers & booksellers and doing a reading in their lovely, packed-out shop. The most thoughtful and fun writing competition I’ve come across!”
