20-23 May 2024, 7:00-8:15pmOver four magical evenings in May, join the 12 authors shortlisted for the 2024 Women’s Prize for Fiction and Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction, for a joyous celebration of women’s writing led by founder director of the Women’s Prize for Fiction and the Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction Kate Mosse.
Each evening will feature three of the shortlisted writers, from across the two prizes, introducing their books, with readings, lively discussion and candid author chat. You’ll have the opportunity to ask your questions and shape the conversation. This is the ultimate international book club celebrating women writers!
