Win Publication and Build Platform

The Plaza Prizes publishes all the amazing writers who are shortlisted, and win, our literary competitions in a massive 550 page book: The Plaza Prizes Anthology.

This is World Literature at its finest, from the very best new poets and writers. A fabulous mix of poetry, short stories, prose poetry, flash fiction, microfiction and the first chapters from novels, and a memoir.

The anthology is proofread, formatted, and edited by professionals. It costs thousands of pounds to produce. We want it to be a showcase for your work. We use Lulu to print it because that helps us distribute copies all over the world.

Everybody published in the anthology will get a FREE copy on the run up to Christmas. Distributing copies to winners from around the world is quite the task so if you could bear with us, have patience, that would be appreciated.

In the meantime – please do support The Plaza Prizes by buying a copy of the anthology on Shopify. It is available in Trade Paperback and ebook. Help us cover our costs and champion new poets and writers like yourselves.

The Plaza Prizes Anthology 2 will go on sale in November 2024. It will contain the rolls of honour: we will be releasing all the names of those writers and poets who won a spot on our longlists, and those novelists who placed on our shortlists. Buy it as a Christmas present for your friends – this is a very acceptable form of boasting that you are a published writer.
