The Pop Idol series has been a hit around the world. Now the idea is being transfered to literature. “Lit Idol has been organised by London Book Fair to uncover untapped talent in the world of fiction writing. The winner will secure a deal with a leading agent which would be almost certain to result in a contract.” Entrants submit work, which will be voted on over the internet. Finalists will be judged after readings at the London Book Fair.
