Writing Competition 2026

I’ve got something really exciting to share with you—especially if you love writing commercial fiction.

We’re currently working alongside I Am In Print, and they’re offering an incredible opportunity for writers in the Commercial Fiction category. Not only is this a chance to showcase your work, but there’s also a standout prize that’s honestly hard to beat…

The winner will secure a place on the How To Be A Happy and Successful Writer retreat in beautiful Naxos, Greece, running from 20–26 September 2026. Think sun, sea, creativity, and a full week dedicated to your writing—an inspiring experience sponsored by Naxos Creative.

It really is one of those “once-in-a-lifetime” kinds of opportunities.

And here’s a little bonus for you—if you don’t want to wait and would love to guarantee your spot, you can book directly with Naxos Creative and use the promo code IAIPNC to receive 10% off your place.

A writing retreat in Greece, surrounded by like-minded creatives, with time to focus on your craft… what more could you want?

If this sounds like something you’ve been dreaming about, I’d absolutely encourage you to go for it—whether that’s entering the competition or treating yourself to the retreat experience.

As always, we are cheering you on every step of the way.
