The Women's Prize for Fiction

The Women’s Prize for Fiction, established in 1996, is a prestigious literary award celebrating outstanding works of fiction written by women. It aims to highlight female authors and promote diversity in literature. The prize is awarded annually and is open to novels published in the UK during the eligibility year. A panel of judges, often composed of well-known authors and critics, selects the winner, who receives a cash prize and increased visibility for their work. The award has become a significant platform for recognizing the talent and contributions of women in literature.
