Glass Bell Awards 2019

Glass Bell Awards 2019

We cannot wait for our annual Glass Bell Award ceremony on Monday 16th September.

The shortlist is absolutely stellar and we are *ridiculously* excited to see the winner crowned, and take home the £2,000 prize and beautiful, engraved, bespoke glass bell.

Will it be international bestseller The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris; The Booker-longlisted Snap by Belinda Bauer; British Book Award Crime & Thriller of the Year winner Our House by Louise Candlish; CWA Gold Dagger-shortlisted The Puppet Show by M.W. Craven, or celebrated debuts Swan Song by Kelleigh Greenberg-Jephcott or VOX by Christina Dalcher?

We think you will agree that we had our work cut out for us in deciding on a winner - hey, it's a tough job, but *someone* had to do it...!

Make sure you're following us on social media to see who will be this year's well-deserving recipient on Monday evening.
