This year’s New Rose Prize saw entries across five categories: Literary, Crime, Young Adult, Romantic Comedy and First Chapter. And, after much deliberation, the judges have made their decision…
Firstly, I would like to thank everyone who entered for sharing their work with us. It is no mean feat to put your work ‘out there’, but we appreciate the effort and bravery of all our entrants this year. Secondly, a massive thank you to our wonderful judging panel: Jamie Guiney, Mel Sherratt, Tamsyn Murray (and me!)
So, without further ado, here are the winners of the New Rose Prize 2013:
The LITERARY New Rose Prize 2013 winner is… 100 QUESTIONS by Josefine Ejebjork
The CRIME New Rose Prize 2013 winner is… THE ENCOUNTER by Holly Foster
The YA New Rose Prize 2013 winner is… COUNSELOR IN TRAINING by Lisa Bambrick
The ROMANTIC COMEDY New Rose Prize 2013 winner is… FROM BEHIND THE FRUIT MACHINE IN PURPLE HEELS by Emma Dellow
and, finally…

A massive congratulations to all our winners, who I will be contacting in the next week with details of their prizes. I will publish their winning entries on my Coffee and Roses blog next week.
