Writers’ & Artists’ Runner-up 2022

Figen Gungor’s work-in-progress, On The Shore, received the 2022 runner-up prize for the W&A Working-Class Writers' Prize.

She is now looking for an agent who will help actualize her dreams of becoming a published author.

Before delving into her passion she graduated from the University of Leicester with a degree in English Literature and soon went on to teach abroad in Japan for a year and a half. Now, she works as an editorial assistant for an academic publisher.

“This is an engaging exploration of memory and the writing is vivid and precise. There is a strong sense of character and narrative voice and the plot is complex and well-wrought.”

— Jessica Andrews, Author of Milk Teeth (2022) and Saltwater (2019)

“Memories are what shape you. They define who you are. Who you become.”
