Our 2023 Adult Novel Competition winner is…
Emily Haworth-Booth with her ‘incredible, wonderfully weird and thought-provoking’ novel Mare.
Our judges were award-winning novelist Sophie Hannah, literary agent at C&W Agency Sophie Lambert, and associate editor of the Bookseller Natasha Onwuemezi.
Visit our Meet the Winners page, if you’d like to read an excerpt from Emily’s novel, along with some comments from the judge and an interview on how she did it.
And a huge congratulations to our finalists, shortlist, longlist and everyone who entered our competition – it’ll be back in June 2025, but in the meantime our Children’s & YA Novel Competition is now open.
