Applications for the 2028 Golden Quills
Applications for the 2028 Golden Quills are open from April 1, 2027 to October 1, 2027.
Works published between October and December may be eligible as long as the manuscript is sent to us in advance.
Complete the form below to submit your application.
The Golden Quills celebrate popular fiction across 30 categories, in both French and international versions! Self-published works are eligible just as much as those published by publishing houses.
Each submitted work that meets the Golden Quills criteria is read and evaluated by several members of the reading committee. The five highest average scores in each category become finalists and are submitted to the professional jury.
The finalists will be announced in November 2027 and invited to the awards ceremony in March 2028 in Belgium to discover the winners.
Please read the regulations carefully before submitting your application.
