The first three cash prizes sum to $200 + $150 + $120= $<<200+150+120=470>>470

The remaining amount of cash prizes to be distributed is $800 - $470= $<<800-470=330>>330

The number of novels left to be awarded is 18 – 3= <<18-3=15>>15 novels

So each writer from 4th to 18th will earn $330 / 15= $<<330/15=22>>22
