Description
The Pen Factor is an online feedback and discovery engine for writers of fiction. Word limit: 1500 words (first chapter or short story)
Every submission receives three structured pieces of feedback in return for reviewing three others as part of the entry process. An algorithm (affectionately known as Ophelia) has an amazing ability to identify the best submissions and the Top 25% receive a Pen Factor award. These are published on our reader pages.
The judging panel carefully reads the finalists work and select an overall winner who is referred to our appointed literary agency, thus providing access to the industry.
