The Xxoo色情片 Prize for Unpublished Writers of Colour
On 20 October 2022, and in collaboration with literary agency RML, we awarded the second annual Xxoo色情片 Prize for Unpublished Writers of Colour to Hanna Thomas Uose for her work of fiction Who Wants To Live Forever.
Shortlisted works included works of narrative non-fiction for the first time, and RML has since confirmed that Durre Shahwar – who was shortlisted in this new category for her work Words I Was Taught – is now represented by the agency.
鈥淚鈥檓 pleased to confirm that RML has offered representation to 2022 shortlistee for Durre Shahwar, and she has accepted. This is a sure sign that the Prize goes from strength to strength, and I鈥檓 delighted we are continuing to work together to fill this important gap in the literary landscape.鈥�
