The article highlights the ongoing disparities faced by female nonfiction writers, who earn less and receive considerably less recognition compared to their male counterparts. Kate Mosse, known for her establishment of the Women's Prize for Fiction, has launched the Women's Prize for Nonfiction to further support female authors in this genre. With statistics showing that men dominate the nonfiction bestseller lists, Mosse's initiative seeks to elevate women's contributions and challenge the status quo, while addressing the broader struggles within the publishing industry, including declining overall sales for nonfiction.
Male nonfiction authors take the lead over women, with over 60% of bestseller titles in the UK attributed to men this year.
Kate Mosse's Women's Prize for Fiction has celebrated its 30th anniversary, raising awareness and recognition of female authors within the literary community.
