Jenni wins £10,000 and the opportunity to undertake a writing retreat at Gordon Burn's cottage in the Scottish borders.
#JenniFagan’s ‘visceral’ memoir of growing up in care wins #GordonBurnPrize. The author said she hopes resulting publicity ‘is used to help stop other children falling through all safety nets as I did repeatedly’ www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m... 📚
