Cheshire Prize for Literature Awards Evening

The Cheshire Prize for Literature showcases the literary talents of writers with a connection to the Cheshire area. Now in its 21st year, the awards evening will announce the winners in the primary, secondary and adult categories for poetry, short stories, children’s literature and scriptwriting. 

We are delighted to welcome guest speaker Paul Dowsell who will provide an insight into his writing career. Paul is a prize-winning author. His best-known work is Auslander, described by the Financial Times as ranking ‘among the very best of wartime historical fiction.’ Eight of Paul’s other novels have won or been short-listed for The Historical Association book awards. He has been a visiting professor at Manchester Metropolitan University and is a frequent visitor to schools across the UK. His most recent book is the non-fiction Aliens – The Chequered History of Britain’s Wartime Refugees.
