The Royal Society of Literature is set to launch a new prize for writers founded and generously supported by its President Bernardine Evaristo. The RSL Scriptorium Awards will provide free writing residencies in a cottage in Ramsgate owned by Evaristo.
The residencies, which can be for up to a month at a time, will offer uninterrupted time for professionally active writers to focus on their projects.
Applications to the awards will open in spring 2025 when they are publicly launched.
