About

EDPR has worked on the prestigious BBC National Short Story Awards with Cambridge University - comprising the BBC National Short Story Award for adult writers, and the BBC Young Writers Award for 14-18 year olds - for ten years, establishing them as the UK’s leading short fiction prizes. During that time we have created campaigns for the Young Writers’ Award 10th anniversary and the 20th anniversary of the National Short Story Award.

What we did

EDPR has worked with the teams at BBC Radio 4 and Radio 1 for over 10 years, positioning both the BBC National Short Story Award and BBC Young Writers’ Award as the most prestigious short fiction prizes in the UK. The awards have launched numerous careers including that of Ingrid Persaud who went on to win the Costa First Novel Award in 2020. National and regional media coverage during that time has increased exponentially with over 2,000 mentions across the national and regional press, 400+ broadcast interviews and ever-growing engagement across BookTok and Instagram.
