We had an incredible Pulp Idol 2025 Grand Final at Liverpool’s Royal Court Theatre Studio on Friday 21st February.
As Pulp Idol continues to grow the talent we see just keeps on getting better, and this year was no exception! Our 12 finalists were absolutely fantastic! A special thank you to our esteemed judges – Yvonne Battle-Felton, Ashleigh Nugent and Zoë Richards – who had the impossible task of selecting this year’s champion and runners up out of an outstanding line-up of writers.
Huge congratulations to our winner, runners up, and all our finalists. We look forward to the book launch of Pulp Idol First in May!

The Lyverdeep Synopsis
Anglya has been conquered by the Frankyan Empire. 15-year-old Memorie, the daughter of a Frankyan knight and Anglysh lady, has the power to sense the stories of others. Her gift will be key in saving her homeland from the curse of the Lyverdeep, an immense woodland infested by the living dead.
