Let’s be real: when TikTok began taking off, we didn’t predict it taking over the book industry. But in among the dances and POV videos, a community was building. Readers provided synopses that sent people to buy books in droves, authors found fame, and soon enough, ending up on #BookTok became a dream for any aspiring writer.

It was only natural, then, that TikTok launched its very own TikTok Book Awards. Winners were determined by #BookTok fans voting for their favourites from a shortlist curated by some of the UK’s biggest names in literature, including Candice Brathwaite and Elizabeth Day, along with representatives from publishers Bloomsbury and Bonnier.

Last night, the inaugural awards took place and some excellent books and writers took home prizes. Here’s who won what.

These are the winners of the first TikTok Book Awards
