BREW Fiction Book Excellence Awardees

By recognising exceptional fiction that takes readers to both familiar and magical worlds, the BREW Fiction Book Excellence Award sheds light on the narrative landscape. This award honours writers whose stories deftly transcend the real world and entice readers to explore the remarkable within the everyday. The prize highlights the breadth and complexity of the imaginary worlds these authors have created, from suspenseful thrillers to touching narratives. Judges carefully consider entries based on character development, emotional impact, and immersive storytelling. A writer’s capacity to conjure vivid, long-lasting worlds that enthrall readers is honoured by this accolade.
