An unpublished novel exploring cancel culture in the post-#MeToo era has won the inaugural Libraro prize, a £50,000 award set up to “sidestep the traditional barricades of the book industry” by allowing readers to select a shortlist from manuscripts uploaded to a platform directly by writers.
British author Donna Fisher won the prize for her novel Sheep’s Clothing, which follows a singer and her on-and-off friendship with a bestselling author who is accused of sexual assault.
