ABOUT
THE AWARDS
The Award’s mission is to point readers of all ages and interests in the direction of outstanding books and writers. Uniquely celebrating books across multiple genres, the Awards’ features shortlists and winners across four categories, and culminates with one book being crowned overall winner of the Gold Prize Book of the Year. Each year you’ll be able to take your pick from a collection of 16 books from the four categories, Children’s Fiction, Fiction, Debut Fiction and Non-Fiction, written by authors based in the UK and Ireland.
The criteria? Our judges will be asked to choose the books they would most want to press into the hands of friends and family for their quality and readability.
Established as a not-for-profit organisation, the Nero Book Awards are run by the independent, family-owned coffee house group, Caffè Nero in partnership with The Booksellers Association and Brunel University London.
However you take your coffee, whatever your taste in books, there will be something here for you – whether that’s discovering fantastic new writing by great authors, or hearing about the craft that goes into writing a great book, straight from the author’s mouth.
