The Polari First Book Prize is an award "for a first book which explores the LGBT experience and is open to any work of poetry, prose, fiction or non-fiction published in the UK in English within the twelve months of the deadline for submissions".
In 2013 the shortlist was:
- The Murder Wall by Mari Hannah (Pan Macmillan)
- Tony Hogan Bought Me An Icecream Float Before He Stole My Ma by Kerry Hudson (Chatto & Windus)
- The Sitar by Rebecca Idris (self-published ebook)
- Catching Bullets – Memoirs of a Bond Fan by Mark O’Connell (Splendid Books)
- The Tale of Raw Head & Bloody Bones by Jack Wolf (Chatto & Windus)
And the winner was Mari Hannah for The Murder Wall.
In 2025 some of the long-listed authors objected to a book by John Boyne, an Irish writer, because he has gender-critical views. [1]
