 The thing that's so unusual, if not unique, about the Writers Award is that it not only frees up your time, but it also frees up your time at a point when you're in the process of writing a book. So it's an award not for a finished project. And that's so valuable in terms of, well, the endorsement it gives you, but also in terms of liberating you to spend time working solely on your book. One of the advantages of this prize for me was that it not only gives you access to the collections, of course, and to the expertise of the Eccles Centre, but it also introduced me to this community of shared scholarly endeavour. And writing can be a somewhat lonely activity. And so to feel part of the institution of the British Library and to have all the kind of emotional and sort of intellectual support that goes with that was one of the more surprising things about this award.
