Just seen this via Twitter:

“If you’ve ever dreamed of becoming a writer but not had the access or confidence to pursue it, we’re about to make your day. To find the next group of exciting new voices, we are launching The Stylist Prize for Feminist Fiction alongside our Literary Festival. We want to find original, innovative female talent, whose voices resonate with us and make sense of the world around us, regardless of genre or experience or age. To create this prize, we are partnering with Rachel Mills Literary Agency (RML) whose clients include Elizabeth Day, Pandora Sykes, Jing-Jing Lee, Ayisha Malik and Bryony Gordon.”

T&C state “Entrants must be 18 and over and must be female or identify as such.”

Stylist and the judges of the prize are all TWAW. The agent involved said that the objection to Torrey Peters being long listed for the women's prize was the same as racial segregation. The editor who is also judging co-founded the "feminist book club" which is "inclusive" and "kind". Another co-founder of that book club works for the women's prize and is likely a key player in why they opened up the prize and the brother of that same person works at the guardian and signed the letter of denouncement against Suzanne Moore. They don't know what feminism is.

Brilliant! I identify as innovative and talented. So I'l let them know I'm identifying as the winner of their prize. I'm sure they won't be bigoted enough to mis-recognise me.

I'll share the prize money with you, CaveMum.
