"The Nero book awards, run by Caffe Nero, were launched in 2023 after Costa Coffee abruptly ended its book awards in June 2022. The prizes aim to point readers of all ages and interests towards the most outstanding books published in the UK and Ireland over the past year. The winners will now compete for the Nero Gold prize, for the overall book of the year, set to be announced in March."
"Each of the four winning authors receives 5,000, with the overall prize carrying a further 30,000. The judges called fiction winner Wood's Seascraper an utterly immersive read, steeped in atmosphere, that explores what constitutes a well-lived life. Set on a fictional stretch of the Merseyside coast, the novel follows Thomas, a shrimp fisher living with his mother, whose routines are disrupted by the arrival of a charismatic American stranger promising opportunity."
