You won’t be surprised to hear that we have taken the sad decision to cancel the Rathbones Folio Prize ceremony on Monday 23rd March.

The winner of the prize will still be announced on Monday 23rd – details of when and where to be confirmed asap so please watch this space for further communications.

We are also looking into a digital solution for the Rathbones Folio sessions featuring the shortlisted authors, due to take place on Sunday 22nd March and will keep you posted on that too.

In the meantime, we hope you might take the opportunity to read as many as possible of the wonderful titles on our shortlist. They really might help stave off the anxiety of these uncertain times and transport you to other worlds beyond Covid-19 and self-isolation.

Watch this space for further communications.
