Women's Prize for Fiction

One of the most prestigious literary awards in the world, the Women’s Prize for Fiction is awarded each June. It was previously known as the Orange Prize for Fiction (1996 - 2012) and the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction (2014 - 2017). It celebrates excellence, originality and accessibility in women’s writing from throughout the world. In 2017, the prize announced that it would change its name to simply "Women's Prize for Fiction" and would be supported by multiple sponsors. A sister prize, the Women's Prize for Non-Fiction, was launched in 2023 and will first be awarded in 2024.
