Writing On the Wall’s Pulp Idol 2024 Submissions Now Open

WOW Pulp Idol 2024

For sixteen years the Pulp Idol competition has uncovered the best new novelists the city of Liverpool has to offer. 

Many new novelists, including  Ashleigh Nugent (LOCKS), Ariel Khan (Raising Sparks), James Rice (Alice and the Fly, Walk), Clare Coombes (Definitions), and Phillipa Holloway (The Half Life of Snails), have found their first success through Pulp Idol.

This competition is unearthing the best new novelists from Liverpool and across the country.

All finalists get their first chapter published in a book of ‘Firsts,’ which is produced in hard copy, a digital manuscript and made available on Amazon Kindle (and free on Kindle Unlimited!). Copies of Pulp Idol – Firsts are sent to agents and publishers.
