Jerwood Fiction Uncovered Prize
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jerwood Fiction Uncovered Prize was a promotional initiative and literary award for British writers of outstanding works of fiction.[1]
Fiction Uncovered was established as a promotional tool in 2010 by The Literary Platform, supported by Arts Council England with funding from The National Lottery.[2][3][4] From 2011, it selected eight books to highlight each year through its own website, author events, and partnerships with retailers.[3][4] It became the Jerwood Fiction Uncovered Prize with sponsorship from the Jerwood Foundation from 2014, awarding £5,000 to each of the eight authors.[5][6][7] Fiction Uncovered was cancelled in 2016 when the Jerwood sponsorship ended.[8]
