Entries for regional literary non-fiction award close on Sept 30

Submissions for the 2014 Hollick Arvon Caribbean Writers Prize, which will be awarded to an emerging writer of literary non-fiction, will close on September 30.

Literary non-fiction works can include biography, memoir, travel writing, history, current affairs and non-academic essays on diverse subjects.

The prize, administered by the Bocas Lit Fest and worth a total of US$15,000, will give the winning Caribbean-based writer time to advance a work in progress, a release from the Bocas Lit Fest said.

It also includes a year’s mentoring by an established author and travel to the United Kingdom
