Women’s Prize for Fiction 2023

We’re proud to host 2 long-listed authors from this year’s Women’s Prize for Fiction. Meet Priscilla Morris and Cecile Pin.

The Women’s Prize for Fiction is the UK’s most prestigious annual book award celebrating & honouring fiction written by women. Founded as a riposte to 1991’s all-male Booker Prize shortlist, since 1996 the Women’s Prize for Fiction has underpinned a renaissance in literary fiction written by women. The Prize celebrates originality, accessibility and excellence in writing by women and connects world-class writers with readers everywhere.

This edition of QP Fringe sees us hosting a panel discussion with two long-listed authors from this year’s competition, in conversation with journalist Kate Leaver:

  • Priscilla Morris — Black Butterflies
  • Cecile Pin — Wandering Souls

Join us for a thought provoking discussion covering some of the best literary voices in contemporary fiction.
