2005 Branford Boase Award Winner 1st July 2005

How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff (edited by Rebecca McNally - Puffin) has won the 2005 Branford Boase Award which celebrates the most promising book for seven year-olds and upwards by a first-time novelist.

In 2005, the Branford Boase Award has secured £5000 sponsorship from Jacqueline Wilson to complement the existing long-standing support from ourselves, Walker Books and the National Literacy Trust.

Jacqueline Wilson says: "I have a special affection for this prize since I was invited to be the first Author Judge in 2000. It can be such a struggle for new writers starting out that I am thrilled to be able to offer this support to a prize which can make a real difference to their prospects".

The new sponsorship will provide the £1000 prize for the winning author and is enabling the Branford Boase website to be developed to enable young people to submit their own stories to encourage their writing.
