The Wainwright Prize
For Uk Nature Writing
The Wainwright Prize for UK nature writing recognises narrative driven titles with a subject that must be related to nature, the outdoors or travel writing (not guidebooks) covering Great Britain and Northern Ireland as a central theme. With nature writing enjoying a golden age in the UK, each year our shortlist is stronger and more diverse that ever before. In recent years, our winner has invariably made the bestseller list subsequent to being awarded the prize.
