One of UK’s most celebrated and prestigious literary prizes, The Women’s Prize for Fiction is annually presented to a female author, from any nationality, honouring the best original full-length novel written in English. The shortlist of this year is out and features a diverse range of nationalities, stories and voices. The list also features Milkman, winner of the 2018 Man Booker Prize for Fiction. Advertising“I was involved in starting the Women’s Prize all those years ago and was the editor of the first ever winner of what was then called The Orange Prize (A Spell of Winter [Penguin] by Helen Dunmore). I have worked with Pat Barker, first as her editor and now as her agent, since the late 80s.
