I'm Tony Butler, a writer.
My novels have been published and sold on the web, two are being published in hard copy, and as eBooks this year.
Unfortunately, original eBook publishers were American, and my current publisher, is registered in New Zealand.
It would appear that the BBC Competition, by specifying UK publishers, is...avoiding competition.
Hmm, I wrote and broadcast a series of, 'Morning Thoughts', for BBC Derby a few years ago...
