To celebrate the success of Naomi Alderman’s debut novel, Disobedience (which won the Orange Award for New Writing in 2006), Penguin is running a competition to win places on a special writing masterclass.

Closing date 31 July 2007

The class will be run by Naomi, along with “a top literary agent” and a Penguin commissioning editor, who will share their tips on how to get started, how to develop your characters and story, and – of course – how to get published. To be in with a chance, you have to send in an original 2,000 word story by 31 July.

The address to send it to is:

 Disobedience Competition, Penguin General, Penguin Books, 80 Strand, London, WC2R 0RL.
