"Even though they started later than the Germans and the French, they were winning all the races by 1907."
It was great to chat with @petergrimsdale, at this year's @ctshirts Sports Book Awards. We discussed his inspiration for the book, as well as his sporting heroes.
Packed with glamour and grit, Grimsdale's engrossing volume recounts the Italian motoring century from Alfa Romeo to Ferrari and beyond and asks just how Italy became world leaders in car making.

Behind every great sports book is a great story... and sometimes, a remarkable partnership.
In the Charles Tyrwhitt Arms, @matt9dawson sat down with Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro and co-writer Tom Fordyce to discuss Inside, @TheBorisBecker's powerful and deeply personal memoir.
From the trust required to tell such an honest story, to the responsibility of capturing life's highest highs and lowest lows, this is a fascinating conversation about collaboration, vulnerability and the power of storytelling.
Inside by Boris Becker and Tom Fordyce is the winner of the 2026 Francis Clark Financial Planning International Sports Book of the Year.

Congratulations to @VassosA, WINNER of the Sports Entertainment Book of the Year, in association with @LoveReadinguk, for his book 'Swimmingly'.
From Bournemouth beach to San Francisco Bay, Alexander rides the current of an obsession with wild swimming in this infectious ode to the restorative power of the open water. It will leave you with a renewed sense of connection to the world, and perhaps even inspire you to dive into your nearest lake, river or sea with gleeful abandon.
@BloomsburyBooks #ReadingForSport
Congratulations to @lilycanter & @Emmajourno, the WINNERS of the Vikki Orvice Award for Women’s Sports Writing, sponsored by @evelynpartners, with their book, Ultra Women.
From hunter-gathering to elite modern sport, Canter and Wilkinson's illuminating book analyses the history of female endurance athletics and asks whether there could be scientific reasons why women are beating men in the toughest events. Upbeat and fast-paced, it sets out a blueprint for increasing female participation in sport.

"I loved sport from such early on. I felt different to all my friends..."
It was a joy to speak with @_jodieounsley, author of Keep Smashing It, at this year's @ctshirts Sports Book Awards. We discussed girls in sport, feeling different, and why you should do something even if it's scary.
The former rugby star, champion of the deaf community, and Fury from TV show Gladiators shares her life lessons with young readers and offers invaluable advice to demonstrate that you can do whatever you put your mind to. It is written with Becky Grey & illustrated by Dane Thibeault.
@MacmillanKidsUK #CTSBA26 #ReadingForSport
Congratulations to @thegazza_, the WINNER of the @ctshirts Autobiography of the Year, in association with @thetimes.
Written with Victoria Williams, one of the most naturally gifted English footballers ever tells his story with unflinching honesty, from his bursts of genius on the pitch to his troubled life and battles with addiction off it.

"I'm so passionate about women in sport, in every facet... but there is still some work to do."
It was lovely to speak with @DrKateHays, author of 'How To Win', at this year's @ctshirts Sports Book Awards. We talked about her shortlisted book, sporting inspirations and the work left to do for women's representation.
Filled with empowering exercises, challenges and advice from leading sports psychologist, How to Win offers a range of tools for developing a deeper understanding of your motivations and goals and cultivating a mentality that will allow you to thrive.
Positive and transformative, it will help you find your purpose, fulfil your potential, and thrive.

Safe to say… Thursday night had all the right ingredients.
Brilliant books, sporting icons, great stories and a room full of people who love the game on and off the page. From the terrace at the Kia Oval to the final trophy lift, the buzz around the 2026 @ctshirts Sports Book Awards was pretty special.
The season may be coming to a close, but we’re still reliving the highlights.

Sports books are a powerful gateway into reading for people who'd never call themselves "readers."
The Charles Tyrwhitt @sportsbookaward 2026 winners are here.
Know someone who'd love them?

"This little project that has been just me, just to myself, I've really loved it. It's been pretty precious."
It was great to chat with @felixwhite, author of 'Whatever Will Be, Will Be', at this year's @ctshirts Sports Book Awards. We talked about the book, his writing journey and his sporting heroes.
Travelling from non-league grounds to Wembley across the FA Cup season, Felix explores what football really means to the people who live and breathe it – the hope, heartbreak, belonging and obsession that comes with giving your heart to a club.
Funny, thoughtful and deeply nostalgic, it’s a love letter to football, fandom and growing older alongside the game.

Celebratory words from @TheBorisBecker, on winning this year's Francis Clark International Sports Book of the Year, with his book 'Inside'.
"It takes a village. It takes so many people behind the scenes for me to be able to let my guard down and let my soul out."
Congratulations to Boris, Tom and all at HarperCollins!

At the Sports Awards and Sir Bradley Wiggins is pointing out the person who helped make THE CHAIN such a good book: his brilliant ghostwriter @jwoody67!
It’s always a fun night going to the Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards at The Kia Oval cricket ground. Sadly, my book co-authored with Matt Oldfield didn’t win the Children’s Book of the Year Award…….but a HUGE congratulations to everyone who was nominated for the award and to Abena Eyeson who won it with her book ‘Running My Own Race’. Truly deserved 👏👏
#CTSBA26
It’s wasn’t to be tonight at the @ctshirts Sports Book Awards 2026, but I want to say a heartfelt thank you to my publisher, Matt Thacker, @FairfieldBooks_ for his belief in me and my book.
🚨A huge congratulations to our man @VassosA for winning sports entertainment book of the year at the sports book awards! 👏 👏 👏
