WILFRED OWEN ASSOCIATION AND SIEGFRIED SASSOON FELLOWSHIP

Book Review Competition


You are invited to submit a review of any book (in or out of print) which deals in some way with the theme of the Great War. This may be fiction or non-fiction. Reviews should be between 500 and 1500 words long, and should be submitted by March 1st 2017. There will be a prize of £150; the winning review(s) will be published in the Wilfred Owen Association Journal or in Siegfried’s Journal, and one or more of the winners will be invited to review for the Journal on other occasions.

The competition will be judged by Merryn Williams, Literary Adviser to the WOA Committee; Mhairi Pooler Hellbrandt, the present Editor of the Siegfried Sassoon Fellowship Journal; Meg Crane, the Editor of the Wilfred Owen Association Journal and former Editor of Siegfried’s Journal; and Lucy Elder, the Assistant Editor and Membership Secretary of the Wilfred Owen Association.

Reviews should be sent in the first place to Meg Crane at the address below - as an e-mail attachment wherever possible, though typed submissions will be accepted if necessary. There will be an entry and administration fee of £5 for each submission from a member of either of the two societies, and £10 for each submission from non-members.
