Elif Şafak Instagram – Are you a writer from a refugee or migrant background? Now there is a new, great literary prize. Footnotes Counterpoints Writing Prize is developed in collaboration with @southbankcentre The award is £ 15 000 and it includes an advance and a publication agreement with @footnote.press The submission window closes on the 1st of October. We want to support migrant/refugee literary voices. I am very excited and honoured to join Philippe Sands and Dina Nayeri to judge this year’s entries. Stories matter. Unheard stories matter. Anyone from a refugee or migrant background is eligible to submit an entry for the prize if they are resident in the United Kingdom or Ireland, whether they have previously been published or not #refugeestories #storiesmatter #worldliterature #bookloversunite @counterpointsarts @counterpointpress #literaturelover @philippesands @dinanayeri 📚📚📚 yeni, önemli bir edebiyat ödülü var artık, göçmen ve mülteci kökenli yazarları desteklemek amacıyla kuruldu. Bu ödülün 3 jüri üyesinden biri olmaktan hem heyecan hem onur duyuyorum. Her hafta mülteci tekneleri batarken, insanlar sürekli hoyratça Ötekileştirilirken edebiyat önyargı duvarlarını yıkar, birbirimizi daha iyi anlayabilmemiz için kelimelerden empati köprüleri kurar. #dünyaedebiyatı #okumakiyileştirir
