Announcement! Young Writer of the Year 2018

By Lizzi @lizzi_thom

Happy Wednesday dear readers!

I am very pleased to announce that this year I am part of the Shadow Panel for the Young Writer of the Year Award. Along with four other book bloggers, I will be reading the books on the shortlist for the award and choosing a Shadow winner. They all look fascinating and I can't wait to get stuck in! The shortlist will be announced on 4th November. Keep an eye on the award's Twitter page here.

There is a blogger event for the award on Saturday 17th November at The Groucho Club, and this is open to any bloggers that would like to attend. If you'd like to come along, just register here and they will send you an invitation.

The award ceremony itself is on Thursday 6th December at The London Library, and promises to be a wonderful evening.

I will be posting about the shortlist books one by one, and I will also write about both the events and the winning book - as well as our Shadow winner of course! The other bloggers on the panel will be doing the same, so please do have a look at their blogs as well. They are:

You can also read about them all on the award website here.

I'll be posting on Twitter about the events and blog posts using the hashtag #YoungWriterAwardShadow. I can't wait to share the shortlisted books with you all.

More soon!
