The following is a list of Wales Book of the Year winners and shortlisted writers. Overall winners are listed in gold, first in their year. Category winners (awarded since 2012) are listed in silver.
The prize has been awarded each year since 1992 to the best Welsh and English language works in the fields of fiction and literary criticism by Welsh or Welsh-interest authors. A format change in 2012 saw the award expand to include three sub-categories: fiction, creative non-fiction and poetry (with Welsh and English language winners in each).[1] In 2019, a sub-category for books for children and young people was added, to be awarded from the 2020 award onwards.[2] An overall winner in each language is still chosen.
Since 2015, a 'People's Choice Award' for the English-language titles has been decided by readers of Wales Arts Review via an online vote, with all shortlisted titles eligible.[3]
