Rebel Women Lit, a Jamaican book club turned global literary community, launched their Caribbean Readers’ Awards Nominations on December 1, 2020. These awards are entirely reader-led and will highlight books written by authors who are of Caribbean citizenship, were born in the Caribbean, or are of Caribbean heritage and have significant portions of the book set in the Caribbean.
Jherane Patmore, Founder of Rebel Women Lit, said, “Caribbean literature is so much more diverse than our scholastic reading lists would suggest, which is why Rebel Women Lit decided to create these awards so that we can showcase the amazing range that Caribbean lit has to offer.”
