Thinking of entering in the Poetry category of the Queen Mary Wasafiri New Writing Prize?
Read an interview with the 2026 Poetry judge, @monakareem.bsky.social, who spoke with Safa Khatib last year for our website, in tandem with the release of our UAE issue.
Read an extract from the forthcoming novel BAIT by Eugenia Ladra, translated from Spanish by Miriam Tobin and published by @dauntbookspub.bsky.social. In the village of Paso Chico, two people form a complex relationship that reveals and unsettles the normalisation of violence.
The 2026 Queen Mary Wasafiri New Writing Prize closes for entries in 3 weeks! In the spirit of the prize being open to work in translation, and to help spread the word, we have gathered some translations of the reminder message from our team — we speak 10 languages between us!
