Vote

One chair on our judging panel is reserved for you, the reader. Adventure is a genre loved by many readers. We all know how powerful a book recommendation can be and you are the ones that keep the market growing.

The Reader’s Vote is open now, until 31st July. You have three votes to award, and whether you want to share them between titles or award them all to one is your choice. The votes will be collated and, together, will be awarded the equivalent weight to one seat on the judging panel, giving you a voice in determining the winner. 

So, dive into the shortlist! Read, share and recommend, and decide where your votes will be placed. Vote here. 

The winner of the 2024 Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize, Best Published Novel award will be announced on Thursday 19th September.
