The Writer’s Prize

First awarded in 2014 (originally known as The Folio Prize and then the Rathbones Folio Prize), the Writer’s Prize is open to all works of literature written in English and published in the UK, and is worth over £30,000. All genres and all forms of literature are eligible, except work written primarily for children.

The Prize is unique in that it is nominated and judged exclusively by members of the Folio Academy of esteemed writers and critics. The 2024 Prize will include category finalists in Fiction, Non-Fiction & Poetry.
