TESTIMONIALS
"Winning the prize has given me the confidence to devote myself to creative writing in a meaningful way. The mentoring I have received has been so crucial in helping me to expand my ideas and discover the direction I want to take my writing in."
-Alex Gray, Fiction 24-30 first place winner 2020
"Since completing the mentoring sessions, I have had my poetry accepted by a number of journals and am working towards my first collection—I don’t think I would have been able to achieve this without all the support from everyone at Streetcake Magazine."
-EJ Coates, 18-23 first place winner 2020
"The experimental nature of the prize creates a space where I found that I was able - and encouraged - to think of writing in new ways and take risks. Jarred and Streetcake have introduced me to many new authors and influences, and my confidence and abilities have only improved since winning the award last year. I would encourage anyone to apply."
-Beth Simcock, 18-23 first place winner 2020
"Winning the Streetcake Experimental Writing Prize has been the turning point in my writing career. I could never have imagined the opportunities it has given me in terms of performing and publishing my poetry. I think it is one of the most vital and forward-thinking writing prizes in the UK."
-Michael Sutton, Poetry 22-26 first place winner 2019
"The Streetcake Experimental Writing Prize has been such a huge boost in confidence as a writer starting out. It has been a big part of my journey as an emerging writer."
-Sarah Loverock (Dean), Fiction 18-21 first place winner 2019
"The Streetcake Experimental Writing Prize experience has encouraged me to be so much more creative than I ever thought I could be. It has pushed me to be bolder and experiment with my writing. I have found my voice and can’t wait to continue working on pieces that break the norms."
