Women's Prize for Non-Fiction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction is a prize for non-fiction writing by women, a sister prize to the Women's Prize for Fiction. It was announced in February 2023 and will first be awarded in 2024, for books published in 2023. Its main prize of £30,000 will be funded for three years by the Charlotte Aitken Trust, and the winner will also receive a statuette named the Charlotte.[1][2][3] It was announced in June 2023 that the inaugural sponsor of the prize would be the family tree company Findmypast.[4]

Kate Mosse, announcing the launch of the prize, said it was "not about taking the spotlight away from the brilliant male writers, it's about adding the women in".[5]

The prize entry criteria state that: "Any woman writing in English – whatever her nationality, country of residence, age or subject matter – is eligible. Books must be published in the United Kingdom between 1 April in the year the Prize calls for entries, and 31 March the following year, when the Prize is announced. Books from all narrative non-fiction categories intended for general readership, commonly known as ‘trade non-fiction’, are encouraged, and the judging panel considers the titles submitted using the guiding tenets of excellence, originality and accessibility."[6]

The 2024 judges are historian Suzannah Lipscomb (chair), fair fashion campaigner Venetia La Manna, academic, author and consultant, Professor Nicola Rollock, biographer and journalist Anne Sebba, and author and 2018 winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction Kamila Shamsie.[7]

The first longlist for the Women's Prize for Non-Fiction, of 16 titles, was announced on 15 February 2024.[8] The Guardian noted that the subject matter of the longlisted books included "Capitalism, artificial intelligence, Renaissance history and motherhood".[9] The shortlist was announced on 27 March 2024 and the winner on 13 June 2024.[7]
