Wellcome Trust Book Prize
Wellcome Trust Book Prize
£25.000 "to an outstanding work of fiction or non-fiction that has been published in a given 12-month period (1 October of one year and 30 September of the next)."
Subject: Medicine in literature: "Books can reveal new worlds, transporting us to unknown places, different times, or even into the minds and bodies of other people. Writing that engages with medicine -be it fiction or non-fiction- can be especially powerful. Explore the theme of medicine in literature further in this section."
Submitted books, in English or English translation, must be published by a UK-based publisher during the prize year. Reissues, anthologies and self-published books are not eligible for the prize, and authors must be living at the time of submission.
Any book of fiction and non-fiction will be considered, so long as medicine or biomedical science is central to its theme. This can include a collection of short stories by the same author. Children's fiction may also be eligible, as long as the book is published by an adult imprint within the specified dates. The final decision as to whether or not a book is eligible for the prize rests with the judges.
