📣 📙 We are incredibly proud to announce the winner of The Libraro Prize 2026. Congratulations to Donna Fisher, whose novel ‘SHEEP’S CLOTHING’ has been awarded the inaugural Libraro Prize 2026 package, securing a £50,000 prize package from Libraro and the option of a book deal with @HachetteUK . Previously announced as part of the six-book shortlist, ‘Sheep's Clothing’ was selected by a judging panel chaired by Joanne Harris OBE, following an outstanding response from Libraro’s global community of readers and writers. The judges described the novel as “a remarkably assured and engaging novel of the post hashtag#MeToo era,” praising it as “provocative and timely.” Exploring questions of sexual power, cancel culture and consent within a lyrical fable, Sheep’s Clothing asks where love, morality and what matters most collide. While today celebrates one winning story, The Libraro Prize 2026 has always been about championing new voices everywhere. We want to thank our amazing shortlisted writers, our incredible judging panel including Elly Griffiths, Bobby Palmer, Deborah Maclaren and Zubs J. Malik, plus the thousands of writers and readers who reviewed, commented, shared and championed stories throughout the journey. 15,000 readers and writers from over 40 countries have already shared and discovered stories on Libraro, , with more than 2,000 stories available for readers looking to discover and champion new talent.
