Join us to celebrate the shortlists for this year’s Women’s Prize for Fiction and Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction online with our first ever livestream from Bedford Square Gardens.

On the eve of the winners announcement, the 12 shortlisted authors of both prizes will be taking to the stage in conversation with their respective Chair of Judges, Kit de Waal and Kavita Puri.

With a rare opportunity to listen to live readings from the books that dazzled our judges, candid insights from the authors, and an audience Q&A, this is an unmissable event! The evening will be introduced by Founder Director Kate Mosse.

For the first time EVER the shortlist readings will be livestreamed!
For just £20, join us online for our brand new livestream, to watch the readings and Q&A live. Plus be entertained during the 30 minute interval with some never-seen-before footage from the 2025 Prize cycle.
