About the event
Join us for a night to celebrate the 2026 Jhalak Prize with readings from the newly announced Longlist-ees in all three categories: prose, poetry and children/young adult. First awarded in March 2017, the Jhalak Prize awards seek to celebrate books by writers of colour in the UK and Ireland.
Doors 7pm for a 730pm start.
"The past decade of the Jhalak Prize is a testament to the range and quality of work by writers of colour [...] and their commitment and determination to publish and reach readers. The Jhalak Prize is an act of love, of family-making with our fellow authors, and I am incredibly proud of the writers who have become part of the Jhalak family as long and shortlisted authors, winners and judges." [Sunny Singh, Prize Director]
