О премии

Разнообразная книжная премия - английская литературная премия, присуждаемая "за лучшие маргинализированные книги, изданные в Великобритании и Ирландии в течение года".

Премия создана в 2020 году соучредителями The Author School писательницей Абиолой Белло (Abiola Bello) и публицистом Хелен Льюис (Helen Lewis).

Награда была учреждена для того, чтобы выделить лучшие из разнообразных книг, издаваемых в Великобритании, как традиционно, так и самостоятельно. "Мы считаем, что необходимо продемонстрировать талант маргинализированных голосов и книг, открыть пространство, в котором эти книги находятся в центре внимания", - отмечают организаторы.

Премия присуждается в четырёх номинациях: Лучшая детская книга, Лучшая книга с картинками, Лучшая книга для молодежи и Лучшая книга для взрослых.

Четыре победителя из каждой категории получают набор призов, включая трофей, VIP-билет на все авторские маркетинговые семинары в течение года, организованные «Клубом 100» от Literal PR, редакционный контент в Pen&Inc и возможность стать частью панели победителей, организованной авторской школы.

Лауреатам также предоставляется автограф-сессия в книжных магазинах Wonderland Bookshop и Pages of Hackney.

A thrilling middle grade mystery series, perfect for fans of Robin Steven’s Murder Most Unladylike. Set in eighteenth-century London, with all the fun and zest of Hamilton and inspired by real Black British historical figures.
Twelve-year-olds Lizzie Sancho and Dido Belle are from different worlds – Lizzie lives in Westminster in her dad’s tea shop, while Belle is an heiress being brought up by her aunt and uncle at grand Kenwood House – but they both share a love of solving mysteries.
And when their eyes meet in the audience of the Drury Lane theatre one night, both girls are sure they’ve seen something suspicious on stage.
Lizzie and Belle soon find themselves on the trail of a mystery – and becoming best friends. But can they work out what’s going on in time to prevent a murder?

It’s hard to plan your future when the ghosts of the past won’t leave you alone…
Stella tries very hard to be good. She tries not to be sassy, to answer back, to be noticed. Because when Stella’s father is angry, it’s like lightning and thunder and hailstones.
Years later, Stella has left her troubled childhood behind and appears to have it all: a degree, a demanding job as a barrister and a group of friends who always have her back. But underneath the surface, she is haunted by her past. It will take all her grace, courage and love to heal her wounds and break free.
Set against a backdrop of London and Ghana, Marie-Claire Amuah’s remarkable debut is an unforgettable exploration of intergenerational trauma. Brimming with compassion, One for Sorrow, Two for Joy offers both a sensitive portrayal of the ripple effects of domestic violence, and a defiant story of friendship, resilience and hope.

Once, in a tiny village in India, there was a young boy who loved to paint. He lived with his grandfather, who taught him to paint with his fingers, to make paints from marigolds and brushes made from jasmine flowers. Sometimes, the village children would watch them painting together, and the boy's grandfather would invite them to join in.

They didn't have much, but they had each other.

After his grandfather dies, the boy notices a little box wrapped in string with a note that read: "From Dadaji, with love," with his grandfather's best paintbrush tucked away inside. But he feels he will never want to paint again.

Will the boy overcome his grief and find joy in painting and his dadaji's memory again?

From Rashmi Sirdeshpande and Ruchi Mhasane comes a lushly illustrated tale of love, art, and family.
