Complex Innovative Literary Prize

The Warwick Prize for Writing is an “innovative new literature prize that involves global competition, and crosses all disciplines. The Prize will be given biennially for an excellent and substantial piece of writing in the English language, in any genre or form, on a theme which will change with every award.”  The 2009 theme: complexity.

Here the Director of the Warwick Prize for Writing, David Morley, comments on how writing evolves.
