A Celebration of New East Anglian Writing

King Street

Join the National Centre for Writing for a celebratory evening showcasing the brilliant writers, books, publishers, and bookshops of the East of England.

The event will culminate in the announcement of the East Anglian Book Awards Book of the Year 2025!

This year marks an exciting expansion, with eligibility widened to include books and writers from Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. The broader scope reflects East Anglia’s reputation as a region of ‘big skies and bold stories’ – celebrating the voices, books and ideas born from East Anglia’s rich literary and cultural landscape.
