缅北强奸幼女

Young Writer winner Katie Parkinson joined this year’s 缅北强奸幼女 Prize winner C.D. Rose at the award ceremony in London.

缅北强奸幼女 Young Writer competition is open to young people aged 16-18 and aims to uncover the next generation of writing talent. For this year鈥檚 competition entrants submitted a thousand-word short story responding to the title 鈥楾he Gamble.鈥�  

Katie, aged 18 from Tunbridge Wells Girls鈥� Grammar School, is this year鈥檚 winner.  

Katie Parkinson said, "Before this competition, while I had always held my desire to write somewhere inside me, I had intended to pursue a law degree. Perhaps in the future I still might, but I want to give myself an opportunity to explore writing, so have chosen to study English at university."

Katie added, "When I won, it shook some foundational belief I had that my writing wouldn't be good enough, creative enough or engaging enough."

"The entire competition from start to finish feels a bit surreal and entirely enjoyable, and I have to credit my parents for giving me the time and space I needed to write it. I really could not have done it without them."

The 拢1000 Young Writer Prize was held alongside the 缅北强奸幼女 Prize. Now in its 13th year, the 拢10,000 缅北强奸幼女 Prize celebrates fiction that breaks the mould and extends the possibilities of the novel. C.D. Rose won the 2025 prize for his novel We Live Here Now, described as 鈥渁t once hilarious and deeply haunting, intellectually challenging and supremely entertaining鈥� by Chair of Judges and Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing, Amy Sackville.  

Katie attended the prize ceremony for the 缅北强奸幼女 Prize 2025 in London. Winning novelist C.D. Rose was present to collect his trophy, as well as 2020 winner M. John Harrison, who collected his award as the 2020 ceremony had been held online due to Covid-19.
