The British Book Awards, aka The Nibbies, is a celebration of books: it affirms, connects and energises the world of reading by showcasing the authors and illustrators who have stirred our hearts and imaginations, and the industry behind the scenes who have brought them to readers. Above all it celebrates the intimate connection between the books, their makers and their audience.

In the second year for this category,which aims to amplify books from traditionally underrepresented writers—with a particular focus on the work of indie presses and imprints—the shortlist features six unforgettable books from a wide range of genres, from memoir to essay to historical fiction.
