The 2023 Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize shortlist has been revealed and Paddy Crewe is shortlisted for his debut novel, My Name Is Yip (Penguin).

The book was also shortlisted for the 2023 Betty Trask Prize and longlisted for the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction and Authors’ Club Best First Novel Award.
The winner of the 2023 Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize will be revealed at an awards ceremony on 18th October 2023.
