The Young Writer of the Year Award is joining forces with the Charlotte Aitken Trust, a new charity set up by the former literary agent Gillon Aitken, in honour of his daughter.
The major new sponsorship will enable the prize to significantly extend its core mission of supporting and developing young literary voices in the UK and Ireland.
"To be encouraging young writers in Charlotte’s name is absolutely the sort of thing we want to be doing." - Sebastian Faulks, Chair
