The SI Leeds Literary Prize is an award for unpublished fiction by UK-based Black and Asian women, aged 18 and above. [The] aim is to act as a loudspeaker for fresh and original literary voices from an under-represented group, and to help them reach new audiences in mainstream culture. More information here.

The award is for the unpublished manuscript of a complete novel. Fingers crossed Yasmin makes the shortlist – to be announced in late September.
