We are delighted to announce that 1st Prize winner of the 2024 SI Leeds Literary Prize is Maeve Clarke for Trapped Between Two Worlds. Many congratulations to Maeve!
Fiona Goh, Prize Director said: “2024 marks the 7th edition of our biennial award, and it’s been a joy to read the ambitious, eclectic manuscripts submitted by our shortlisted authors. Our writers’ fresh takes on some really challenging social issues inspired detailed, passionate disucssions by the judging panel, chair Nelle Andrew, Kadija George Sesay, Rosemarie Hudson and Latoyah Innerarity. Particular congratulations to Maeve for winning both the 1st Prize and the SI Readers’ Choice award, which is a first for the prize. I’m hugely looking forward to working with and reading more from all our shortlisted writers in the years to come!”
