12 Bath Novel Award Winners on Writerly Self-doubt Behind every winning book is a writer who nearly didn’t send it in. Winners share their stories of self-doubt and what they’d say to the writer hesitating before clicking ‘submit’.

#BathNovelAward - Closing date to enter 31 May.
Don't doubt yourself...

Novel has been submitted to the Bath Novel Award 2026! I said 2026 was going to be the year of submissions and taking chances 😅 Wish me luck! #writingcommunity #bathnovelaward #indeauthor #TheFutureKing #ArthurianLiterature #dystopian #selfpub

I didn’t make the longlist, but was genuinely thrilled (and a bit stunned) to learn my novel reached the Top 100 out of 2,901 entries in the most competitive year of the Bath Novel Award to date. Thanks so much to everyone who’s cheered me on 💛
