Humbled to be shortlisted for the Ruth Rendell Award 2026, in partnership with the National Literacy Trust and The Authors’ Licensing and Collecting Society.
“The Ruth Rendell Award seeks to celebrate authors who go above and beyond to champion literacy, and to support children, young people or adults to develop their literacy skills and to build a lifelong love for reading.”
The award was launched in 2016 by the National Literacy Trust and the Authors’ Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS) in honour of the author Ruth Rendell, who tirelessly championed literacy throughout her lifetime and supported the National Literacy Trust since its foundation in 1993.
Anyone can nominate an author for this prestigious, annual award to acknowledge the work they do outside of their expected duties.
The winner of the 2026 Ruth Rendell Award will be announced at a reception at Goldsmiths’ Centre in London on 26 February 2026.”
Massive well done to everyone shortlisted and so richly deserved.
