The prize recognises debut authors as well as established writers in fiction, non-fiction and business categories.

The Tata Literature Live! Festival has announced the shortlists for five of the eight literary awards it will give out this year. With three books in each category, shortlists were announced for the First Book Award for non-fiction and fiction, the Book of the Year Award for fiction and non-fiction and the Business Book of the Year Award. Among the authors who were on the longlists released last week but did not find a spot on the shortlists are Jeet Thayil, Upamanyu Chatterjee and Sujatha Gidla, who won the Shakti Bhatt First Book Prize in October. The other three categories in which awards are given – and are yet to be declared – are Poet Laureate, Lifetime Achievement, and Big Little Book.
