The YA Book Prize was launched in 2014 and was the first prize in the UK and Ireland to focus specifically on fiction for teenagers and young adults. It is organised by book trade magazine The Bookseller in partnership with Edinburgh International Book Festival.

A shortlist of ten titles is selected by a team at The Bookseller. A panel of book experts and teenage judges are then asked to select the book they believe is the best-written and that they would be most likely to share with young adults as the winner.

Timetable:

  • The shortlist is announced in June.
  • The winner will be announced at a special event on 24th August 2023 as part of the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
