If you are a young woman writer who writes articles, then you may be interested in the Cassandra Jardine Memorial Prize that was launched in 2013 in memory of the Telegraph journalist, who sadly died from cancer in 2012.
When it was launched in 2013 it opened to women aged between 18 and 25. The prize is seeking "creativity and potential in an original feature article."
If you're interested pop along to the Telegraph's Lifestyle section here, and check the criteria for entry, and what you're aiming for.
You can follow their link to read last year's winning entry.
Closing date: 31st March 2016.

If you read my blog regularly you'll know one of my annual features is the Diagram Prize shortlisted titles.
Odd book titles are suggested by readers, and could make the shortlist...
Odd book titles are suggested by readers, and could make the shortlist...
Well here is your opportunity to suggest an odd book title for consideration. You can either send your recommendations by email or on Twitter using the #DiagramPrize hashtag. Find out who to email or tweet to in this Bookseller article.
The shortlist will be unveiled 26th February, so there isn't long to make your odd title suggestions.
Self-published titles are eligible too.
But remember, the titles "must be unwittingly odd, not deliberately so."
Now, I need to get back to that short story-it's almost finished, a few final tweaks and it will be ready to go out into the world. I'll update you on my progress later in the week... :)
