Back again with the Selected British Literary Prizes dataset for #TidyTuesday. It was really nice to see LGBTQ+ data included🏳️🌈. I also had a look at ethnic diversity across prize institutions and winner vs. shortlist % for nominees from the top 15 unis.

I created a heatmap for this week's #TidyTuesday showing UK literary prize demographics with data from @post45data.bsky.social. White British authors account for 61% of winners vs. 46% shortlisted. Men win 56% vs. 46% shortlisted.

TWO great opportunities for graduate students in post45 literary studies in 2026! The Post45 Graduate Symposium @ Duke and @post45data.bsky.social’s virtual workshop for research with their data sets.
We're excited to host a virtual workshop where graduate students can present work-in-progress that engages with data from the Post45 Data Collective in some way.
Editors from the P45DC, Public Books, Post45, and the 19th Century DC will be there to offer feedback.
Proposals are due December 1!
