PUB: Betty Trask first novel | Society of Authors

The Betty Trask Prize and Awards

Betty Trask left a bequest to the Society of Authors in 1983 to fund a prize for first novels written by authors under the age of 35 in a romantic or traditional, but not experimental, style. The prize money, which totals £20,000, must be used for foreign travel. The prize is open to published and unpublished novels.
