The Women's Prize for Fiction
Scott's most-covered prize and his most-watched content. Every longlist since 2021 — predictions researched from a pool of 40+ eligible titles, reaction videos, and full reads. The Women's Prize is where GFP built its reputation.

The Booker Prize
The most argued-over prize in fiction. Scott reads every book on the longlist every year — all 12 or 13 of them — and delivers verdicts that are honest, opinionated, and occasionally painful. If you want someone to do the reading so you can skip straight to the good stuff, this is it.
