SI Leeds Literary Prize is the biennial award for unpublished fiction by Black and Asian women writers.

A national award with proud Yorkshire roots, the Prize has supported the careers of many successful writers, including Bradford's Saima Mir, Kit de Waal, Mahsuda Snaith, Amita Murray, Season Butler and Stella Oni.

This year’s event will provide an opportunity to hear the 2024 shortlisted writers reading from their fantastic submissions, spanning a wide range of genres, time periods and countries, from dystopian fiction to short stories, and to talk about the challenges and opportunities for writers today.

Chaired by Dawn Cameron.

The Prize is supported by Arts Council England and Soroptimist International.
