Writers' Haunts: Twelve Authors in Contention for the 2025 Booker Prize Reveal Their Writing Locations
The Booker Prize Foundation has shared a unique glimpse into the lives of authors longlisted for the prestigious Booker Prize 2025. In a series of images, we get a glimpse into the writing spots of these talented authors, offering a fascinating insight into their creative process.
From the charming chaos of daily life to the peaceful surroundings of a cemetery bench, the images do not appear to be professional or staged. Benjamin Wood, for instance, can be seen writing from a cemetery bench with a notebook, while Susan Choi prefers a window-side sofa.
The spaces range from the mundane to the monastic, including kitchen tables and desks equipped with office tools. Some writers' set-ups are austere and unergonomic, while others boast laptop stands and ergonomic office chairs. The tools of the job depicted in the photos offer a glimpse into each author's writing habits.
The images are mostly phone snaps of informal domestic spaces, showcasing bare desks, clutter of post-it notes, reading materials, and inspirations. They provide unique perspectives into the authors' writing habits and environments, offering a glimpse into their personalities.
Interestingly, the authors nominated for the Booker Prize 2025 and the locations where their novels were written are not specified in the search results. The search results include the longlist for the German Book Prize 2025 with authors like Thomas Melle and Nava Ebrahimi and mention some biographical details for others like Dan Brown (living in New England) and Raphaela Edelbauer (Austrian), but no direct information about Booker Prize 2025 nominations or novel writing locations.
As we eagerly await the Booker Prize 2025 announcement, scheduled for two months from now, these images serve as a reminder that the act of writing is embedded in life and part of an ecosystem where ideas merge with objects and environments. The images are almost micro-novels, some as detailed as a book, offering insight into each author's creative process.
The shortlist of six books for the Booker Prize 2025 will be unveiled through a public event at the Southbank Centre on 23 September 2025. Until then, these images offer a captivating preview of the literary talent that awaits us.
