The winner of both prizes will be announced on June 13.
The judging panel for the Women’s Prize for Fiction and the inaugural Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction will be chaired by Monica Ali and Suzannah Lipscomb respectively, it has been announced.
Meanwhile, historian, author and broadcaster Lipscomb will lead Anne Sebba, Kamila Shamsie, Nicola Rollock and Venetia La Manna on the judging panel for the launch of the inaugural Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction, with a longlist set for publication on February 15 and a shortlist on March 27.
“I think there’s a sense that this is entirely legitimate as the Women’s Prize for Fiction was, because this gap remains and because it seems that we need an extra device to bring these out into the open and bring people’s attention to them. Meanwhile Brick Lane author Ali said she was “surprised” to be named chair of the prestigious fiction prize but described it as a “great honour”, comparing it to Christmas as boxes of books have been arriving for her to judge.
