When I first saw the news that Caffè Nero is establishing a new set of writing prizes, I was thrilled. Since the Costa book awards came to an untimely end last year, it's been obvious there is a gap that needs filling, a mechanism to celebrate titles which have the potential to reach a bigger than expected audience. As a judge in the final edition of the Costas, selfishly I was pleased too: the experience of reading across genres I wouldn't always look at was enormously nourishing for me.
