 Book Award Winners

In our libraries, this month, we celebrate book award winners and shortlisted authors who have made a difference with their work. Some of the main categories are fiction/non-fiction/ illustrations/ format of book/ poetry/ adult literature/ children and young people's literature.

Some of the most important running book awards in the industry are:

·         Booker Prize.

·         The John Newbery Medal.

·         Edgar Awards.

·         National Book Critics Circle Award.

·         National Book Awards.

·         Costa Book Awards.

The Booker prize is awarded every year for the best original full-length novel written in English language. The writer has to be a citizen of either the Commonwealth Nations or the Republic of Ireland. The selection process for the winner of the prize is very strict.

In our resources you can find previous “Book Prize winners”. Make sure you have a read!
