The Chrysalis BREW Project has announced the winners of the BREW Nonfiction Book Excellence Award 2026, recognising a diverse range of works that demonstrate strong research, thoughtful insight, and meaningful engagement with readers. This annual recognition highlights books that contribute to knowledge across disciplines while remaining accessible and relevant to contemporary audiences.
This year’s recipients reflect the breadth of nonfiction today, spanning business, history, travel, memoir, and linguistics. Each title offers a distinct perspective, grounded in either lived experience or scholarly inquiry.
In the Business category, Rainbow Gold by David B. Hampson explores entrepreneurship as a long-term endeavour shaped by decision-making, resilience, and relationships. The book presents a perspective that values sustainability and purpose alongside measurable success.
The Ancient History category winner, The Ark of the Covenant in Its Egyptian Context by David A. Falk, examines a subject of enduring historical interest through a carefully researched lens. By placing the Ark within its broader cultural and historical setting, the work contributes to ongoing academic discussion.
In Travel, Letters from Gilgil 1 by Peter Massam offers a reflective account of place and movement. The narrative captures travel not only as a physical journey but also as an exploration of perspective and memory.
In Linguistics, Vademecum of English by Ana María López Jimeno provides a structured and practical guide to the English language. Its approach balances clarity with depth, making it a useful resource for learners and language enthusiasts.
The Memoir category recognises Little Boy, I Know Your Name by Mitchell Raff, a personal narrative that engages with identity and lived experience. The work invites readers to consider how individual histories shape understanding and growth.
Together, these titles illustrate the continuing relevance of nonfiction as a space for inquiry, reflection, and learning. The BREW Nonfiction Book Excellence Award 2026 celebrates not only the quality of these works but also their contribution to broader conversations across fields.
Congratulations to all the winners on their achievement.
