Helen Fielding launches Bridget Jones Prize for aspiring comic writers from northern England
Helen Fielding, author of Bridget Jones's Diary, together with the charity New Writing North, has launched a prize for the funniest 1000-word first-person piece. The £2000 award will be given from 2027 to 2029 to an unpublished writer without a literary agent living in northern England. Fielding said that writing opportunities in the UK are distributed 'very unevenly'.
