Rosamund Lupton

Rosamund Lupton has written the opening paragraph of a new story for Grazia's competition, who are looking for the next star female writer. Teaming up with the Orange Prize for Fiction for the second year running, Grazia are asking entrants to complete the first chapter of the story, titled The Journey in 800-1,000 words.

Rosamund will be appearing on the judging panel to help select the winning first chapter, along with Lauren Laverne, Kate Mosse, Hattie Brett, Scarlett Russell and Victoria Harper.

Rosamund will also be taking part in an exclusive event, 'How to get your first novel published' on 28 May at London’s Southbank Centre (www.southbankcentre.co.uk) where she will be joined by fellow best-selling author Kate Mosse, Lauren Laverne and leading literary agents and editors.
