AMAZON has launched the 2017 search for a new 1,000 words or less children’s festive tale that is a reimagined and modern take on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.
The winning author will receive a prize package including having his or her book professionally illustrated by award-winning Brighton-born artist Ian Beck.
Mr Beck said: “I look forward to bringing the winning story to life through my illustrations. A Christmas Carol’s simple message of Christmas generosity has been such an inspiration in many forms for generations.”
To be in with the chance of winning, UK-based authors should submit up to a 1,000 word story in English by November 7.
