The list of nominees for the Highland Book Prize has been revealed, featuring work from some of Scotland's best authors.

We are delighted to announce that four authors have been shortlisted for the Highland Book Prize. These authors are Ali Smith (Companion Piece), Tony Davidson (Confessions of a Highland Art Dealer), Duncan Gillies (Crann-Fìge), and Cynthia Rogerson (WAH! Things I Never Told My Mother).



The winner of the competition, which is jointly run by the Moniack Mhor creative writing centre near Beauly and The Highland Society of London, will be announced on 6 June. Rachel Humphries, centre director at Moniack Mhor, expressed her joy at the selection, noting the exciting diversity of Highland culture and voices that the shortlisted works represent.



This year's Highland Book Prize is judged by Kapka Kassabova (winner of the 2017 Highland Book Prize for Border), Mark Wringe (senior lecturer in Gaelic language and culture at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig), and Peter Mackay (recently named Bard of An Comunn Gàidhealach at the 2022 National Mòd). The selection process was chaired by Alex Ogilvie, a trustee of The Highland Society of London.
