Baileys Prize

The Baileys Prize for Women’s Fiction is a prominent literary award that recognizes outstanding novels written by women. Established in 1996 (originally as the Orange Prize), it celebrates excellence in storytelling and literary craftsmanship. The prize aims to highlight diverse voices and showcase the rich contributions of women writers to contemporary fiction. Each year, a distinguished panel of judges shortlists and selects a winner from a wide range of novels, drawing attention to impactful, well-crafted books that resonate with readers and contribute to important conversations through storytelling.
