We create opportunities for exceptional writing to thrive by offering the platform and recognition women writers deserve.

With a gift of £1,000 or more per year, you can help us nurture the next generation of women writers, supporting them to share their stories and experiences through mentoring, workshops, and visibility.

To date, we’ve supported thousands of women writers. With your help, we can reach even more – particularly those at the very beginning of their creative journeys.In recognition of your generosity, we would be delighted to welcome you as a Patron and offer the following benefits:

• Invitations to exclusive Patron events, including our sought-after shortlist readings for the Women’s Prize for Fiction and Non-Fiction
• A curated set of shortlisted books (Fiction or Non-Fiction)
• A regular Patron newsletter featuring behind-the-scenes insights and early announcements
• Recognition on our website to thank you for your generous support

We understand that every supporter is different, and we’d love to speak with you about how you’d like to be involved. For more information or to request a joining form, please contact our Senior Philanthropy Manager, Ilka Kemp-Hall, at ilka@womensprize.com.

* Each level of support within our Patrons’ Programme includes a benefits portion and a voluntary donation. At the Patron level, benefits are valued at £180, and the suggested donation of £820 is eligible for Gift Aid. The benefits package can be purchased without making the suggested donation.
