A great opportunity for writers in BC aged 50 and over!
“The Cedric Literary Awards have been created specifically to recognize and celebrate unpublished BC writers of fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry, and First Nations storytellers. We want to play a key role in: encouraging unpublished writers who may not have considered publishing their work previously; providing a forum for previously unpublished work by BC writers and storytellers; and celebrating their achievements. We believe that writers aged 50 and over have had a lifetime of experience to share in writing[.]”
