The Steph Bowe Prize for Young Writers
The Steph Bowe Prize for Young Writers is designed to encourage and support an unpublished Australian writer of young adult fiction aged 18–25. Established in memory of beloved Australian YA author Steph Bowe, the Prize honours her passion for fostering and mentoring emerging writers.
The winner will receive $1000 in prize money, a 20-hour mentorship with an award-winning YA author to develop their manuscript, and a professional development package worth $300. Shortlistees will each receive the professional development package.
The Steph Bowe Prize opens annually on 1 February.
