Myriad has launched its 2020 First Graphic Novel Competition, and has signed two authors who have been on the competition shortlist.

The competition invites authors to submit 15 to 30 pages of a graphic novel in progress, fiction or non-fiction. The closing date is 28 February. First prize is publication on the Myriad list.

The competition is for a graphic novel-in-progress and is open to all cartoonists, and writers and artists working as a team, who have not previously published a full-length graphic work. The winner will be offered the opportunity to develop their work-in-progress with Myriad's creative and editorial team with a view to being offered a contract and publication.

The winning entry will be an extract from a narrative work in progress - nonfiction or fiction. Entries may be from a single author or may be a collaboration between a writer/writers and an artist/artists. Myriad is committed to publishing work that reflects the breadth of human experience and attracting creators who reflect our diverse society, from BAME and LGBQT+ artists to those with physical or mental health challenges and from different social backgrounds.

The Myriad First Graphic Novel Competition is supported by The Lakes International Comic Art Festival.
