The Guardian Children's Fiction Prize is a coveted prize for any author and those included on the Shortlist will each be eager to see if they have won. Previous winner and Children's Laureate Jacqueline Wilson spoke fondly of the award at this year's Hay Festival "Winning the Guardian prize is a wonderful reward for any writer. It is such a distinguished award . . . All authors want to know what other authors think of their books and they also like to know what children like, too." |
