To celebrate the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction #ThisBook campaign, which seeks to shine a spotlight on books written by women, we're asking you to share your #ThisBook choice - the book written by a woman that has had the most impact on you. Simply upload an image of the book jacket and tell us why you've chosen it.
We're also going to be running a Q&A with best-selling author Kate Mosse. Kate is the Co-Founder and Chair of the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction and the author of six novels. Her No 1 bestselling Languedoc Trilogy – Labyrinth, Sepulchre and Citadel – has sold millions of copies throughout the world and Labyrinth was named by Waterstones as one of the top 25 books of the past 25 years. We're inviting you to post questions to Kate about her novels, the #ThisBook campaign and what it’s like to have founded Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction. She's also happy to offer budding authors tips on how to get started and how to write successful novels.
Post your #ThisBook choices and questions to Kate Mosse before midday on Monday 14th July and we'll post up her answers on Wednesday 23rd July.
