Submissions open for Orna Ross Green Stories Novel prize

Prepare early if you plan to submit, as we are keen to ensure that this year, we get more entries that truly meet the criteria of embedding climate solutions, not just raising awareness of green issues. To this end, we ask you to read one or more of our Green Stories publications that we believe take a solution-focused rather than problem-focused approach. If you win, hopefully next year your book will feature! See here for details.
