All emerging writers schemes should include writers over 40 – writers can emerge at any age, and women writers especially are frequently prevented from taking up writing until later in life (as we well know)!
Emerging playwright schemes should include over 40s, say UK theatre figures

Friendly reminder: you're still a writer if you... – have never been published – don't want to be published – haven't written for a while – doubt in your own abilities – are yet to find your voice

'Although we welcome open debate, Shriver’s comments are not consistent with Mslexia’s ethos, and alienate the very women we are trying to support.' We will be announcing Shriver’s replacement in the coming weeks, ahead of the competition’s 1 October deadline. Thank you.

A statement from editor Debbie T: ‘Since our launch in 1999, Mslexia’s raison d’être has been to provide a safe space for all women writers to develop their craft. We actively encourage entries from marginalised writers and frequently draw attention to the issues they (we) face.

As an office full of writers who spend a significant amount of time interviewing other writers, we can confirm that the self doubt never goes away – no matter how many book deals you nab or copies you sell. All you can do is keep putting pen to paper! We believe in you.
