The Booker Prizes
The Booker Prize and The International Booker Prize honour fiction on a global basis.
First awarded in 1969, The Booker Prize is the leading prize for quality fiction written in English. It has brought recognition, reward and readership to outstanding fiction for over five decades, and transforms the careers of all those nominated. The list of former winners features many of the literary giants of the last half century: from Penelope Fitzgerald to Salman Rushdie, Kazuo Ishiguro to Hilary Mantel.
Complementing The Booker Prize, The International Booker Prize rewards the best work of fiction translated into English from another language. The prize aims to encourage more publishing and reading of quality works of imagination from all over the world, and to give greater recognition to the role of translators.
Discover the longlists and shortlists for both prizes, as well as what the nominated authors and translators have on their own bookshelves.
The Booker supports the flourishing of local bookshops, and its 10% affiliate fee will be donated to the bookshop.org community.
