@drmjwarren.bsky.socialReposted by @wainwrightprize.bsky.socialAn amazing day as a shortlisted @wainwrightprize.bsky.social author 2026 at one of my favourite places in Kent—the Isle of Sheppey (it features first thing in the Prologue to my forthcoming book, Hibernal!) #naturewriting
@nicolawriting.bsky.socialReposted by @wainwrightprize.bsky.socialLovely stuff from Nature Bound Books! Ghosts of the Farm has been in the world a whole year. Highly Commended for @wainwrightprize.bsky.social for Nature Writing. natureboundbooks.co.uk
@wainwrightprize.bsky.socialIt was lovely to chat with @nicolawriting.bsky.social, author of 'Ghosts of the Farm', about her book.
Shortlisted for this year’s #WainwrightPrize, it explores changing rural communities, women’s place in farming and the impact of agricultural change.
@wainwrightprize.bsky.socialSix categories. Six brilliant books. One very special year of the #WainwrightPrize. 🌿
Henry takes us through the 2026 winners – from ancient woodlands and wild landscapes to birds, bees, the Arctic and the lost worlds of deep time.
@wainwrightprize.bsky.socialIt was great to chat with @drmjwarren.bsky.social, author of ‘The Cuckoo's Lea ’.
Shortlisted for this year’s #WainwrightPrize for Nature Writing, the book traces the lost connections between English place names and the species of birds that used to occupy these locations.
@wainwrightprize.bsky.social"At the end of the day, we're the ones who are really endangered. The natural world will get on very nicely without us."
We chatted with Jackie Morris after her book, The Book of Birds, won the 2026 #WainwrightPrize Book of the Year.
@wainwrightprize.bsky.socialWe caught up with some of the shortlistees of the #WainwrightPrize before the ceremony began to chat about how it felt to be nominated and what the prize meant to them.
Congratulations to all our shortlisted authors and illustrators.
@nicolettejones.bsky.socialReposted by @wainwrightprize.bsky.social#NewIllustrationOfTheDay by Annie Booker, from her debut The Great Bear which this week won the children’s picturebook category of the Wainwright Prize (for books about nature). Graphite & watercolour with astonishing use of scale. Two Hoots. @wainwrightprize.bsky.social. @twohootsbooks.bsky.social
@wainwrightprize.bsky.social"I think it's good for us to be even-handed about the less picturesque or photogenic aspects of nature. They deserve to be saved too."
We caught up with @calflyn.bsky.social, after her book, 'The Savage Landscape', won the #WainwrightPrize for Conservation Writing.
