Monica Ali is the chair of judges for the 2024 Women’s Prize for Fiction.
Monica Ali is a bestselling writer whose work has been translated into 26 languages and nominated for several accolades, including the Booker Prize and the George Orwell Prize. She is the author of five books: Brick Lane, Alentejo Blue, In the Kitchen, Untold Story and Love Marriage. The success of these books led to Monica being elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, a lifetime honour that gives her the opportunity to support other writers and readers.
It’s a great honour to be chair of the 2024 Women’s Prize for Fiction. I’m excited to embark on this literary treasure hunt, and deeply curious about what I’ll learn in the process about how women writers are choosing to engage with the world right now.
