The Writers' Prize, previously known as the Rathbones Folio Prize, the Folio Prize and The Literature Prize, is a literary award that was sponsored by the London-based publisher The Folio Society for its first two years, 2014–2015.[1][2] Starting in 2017, the sponsor was Rathbone Investment Management.[3] At the 2023 award ceremony, it was announced that the prize was looking for new sponsorship as Rathbones would be ending their support.[4] In November 2023, having failed to secure a replacement sponsor, the award's governing body announced its rebrand as The Writers' Prize.[5][6]
