HER LIFE. HER RULES. FINALLY.

Ophelia is the mumfluencer the world didn't know they wanted. Anuri is here to take her down. Every second of Anuri's childhood was documented by her successful influencer stepmother, Ophelia. Picture-perfect, beautifully curated shots of their family life are everywhere on social media. There's only one problem: it's all entirely fake. And when Anuri sees her little sister being dragged into Ophelia's online world, she decides she's had enough: it's time to take back control.

The bright idea came about when Abiola was looking up book awards for diverse books and only found one, despite the conversations about more diversity in books. She shared the idea with Helen who backed it and they agreed it has to be UK based to celebrate the amazing talent that we have. Whilst Abiola was trying to think of a clever awards name, Helen said, “Why not keep it simple and call it The Diverse Book Awards?" 

The Diverse Book Awards are open to anyone who has written a book for children, young adults and adult. Fiction only and UK based authors that features Black, Asian, Latin American and and/or inclusive main characters.
