Granta 163: Best of Young British Novelists

Edited by Sigrid Rausing

Every ten years Granta magazine publishes a special issue identifying twenty of the best new British novelists. In spring 2023 we publish the fifth edition, celebrating this decade’s most promising young writers.

The judging panel features authors Tash Aw, Rachel Cusk, Brian Dillon and Helen Oyeyemi, and is chaired by Granta editor Sigrid Rausing.

Since the first ‘Best of Young British Novelists’ issue in 1983, Granta has championed the work of authors who go on to change the landscape of British literature. In 1983, featured writers included Kazuo Ishiguro, Salman Rushdie, Julian Barnes, Martin Amis and Pat Barker, and subsequent editions have highlighted the work of Zadie Smith, Nicola Barker, Ben Okri, Jeanette Winterson and many others. In 2023, we will introduce readers around the world to the next generation of outstanding British voices.
