Commonwealth Writers' Prize - Best Book
The Commonwealth Writers’ Prize is a leading award for fiction that was first awarded in 1987. The objectives of the prize are to promote new voices, reward achievement, encourage wider readership and greater literacy, thereby increasing appreciation of different cultures and building understanding between cultures.
The Prize is organised and funded by the Commonwealth Foundation, and is supported by the Macquarie Group Foundation. Authors win £10,000 for the overall Best Book and £5,000 for the Best First Book.
