Commonwealth Writers' Prize

The Commonwealth Writers’ Prize is an annual literary award celebrating outstanding fiction by authors from Commonwealth countries—nations with historical ties to Britain. It recognizes novels that showcase diverse stories, cultures, and voices, promoting literary excellence and cross-cultural understanding. The prize supports both emerging and established writers, often highlighting works that explore social, political, or personal themes relevant to their regions. By showcasing these works, the prize aims to elevate global storytelling and foster a richer appreciation of the diverse experiences within the Commonwealth community.
