Diverse Books | The Diverse Book Awards

The Diverse Book Awards 2022

Created by The Author School. We want to highlight the best of the diverse voices published in the UK during 2021, both traditionally and self-published. We believe there's a need to showcase the talent of marginalised voices, so we came up with The DBAwards to open a space where the spotlight is on them.

Now in our third year!
