We're delighted to invite you to celebrate the Rathbones Folio Prize 2021, in a virtual event from the British Library on the 24 March at 18:45pm. As we build up to the live winner announcement, you will meet the eight shortlisted authors who will discuss their books and writing processes. We will also hear from the judges, Roger Robinson, Jon McGregor and Sinéad Gleeson, who have the task of selecting just one winner from 80 nominated titles. Join us for a behind the scenes look at other activities sponsored by Rathbones and facilitated through The Folio Academy, including the Rathbones Folio Mentorships in association with First Story. The Rathbones Folio Prize – known as the #TheWritersPrize — rewards the best work of literature of the year, regardless of form. It is the only award governed by an international academy of distinguished writers and critics, ensuring a unique quality and consistency in the nomination and judging process.
