The Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction
We champion uncommon ideas in our pursuit of growth. By supporting The Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction, we seek to celebrate and bring to your attention some of the finest new writing.
Showcasing the world’s best non-fiction
We are proud to support the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction. Every year, a panel of independent judges considers hundreds of entries to pick first a longlist, then a shortlist and finally, in November, a winning book that marks the pinnacle of recent factual writing.
The Prize marks its 26th year in 2024. Past winners have included an account of a gigantic blaze in Canada and an investigation into the roots of the US opioid crisis.
