Liz Bentley Writing

‘From Essex to London in 101 Boyfriends’ was a blog I wrote in 2018 mainly for Facebook and my performing friends and fans. I posted two boyfriends a week, ending in January 2019 with ‘No. 101 The Husband’.

I went on an Arvon course and jigged the blog about. I applied and was shortlisted for the Arvon/Jerwood mentoring prize 2019.  I went on to win a read of the now 57,000 word memoir with ‘The Literary Consultancy’ via Shape Arts. I am now looking to find an agent and publisher of ‘The Suicidal Therapist.’

I am writing a dystopian horror ‘Fertile’. In it’s second draft I was short-listed for Seminal Edits novel competition 2023.
