Writing East Midlands is proud to announce the arrival of the East Midlands Book Award, an independent, annual award that will be first awarded in 2011 for the best book of 2010.
£1000 will be given to a writer of Fiction (including work aimed at young people), Creative Non-Fiction, or Poetry. The aim of the award is to promote writers who live in the East Midlands, to raise the profile of the thriving literary scene in the region, and to reward exceptional work.
Nominations are invited from local and national publishers. A panel of judges will be chosen each year to shortlist submissions and make the final award. A shortlist of up to eight books will be announced in April of each year and promoted through bookshops, libraries and reading groups. An award ceremony will be held each June – in the first year at the Lowdham Book Festival.
The judges will be announced shortly.
