The Caine Prize for African creative writing is awarded annually. The prize is named after the late Sir Michael Caine, former Booker Prize chairman. Irene Staunton began work in publishing in London in the 1970s. Returning to Zimbabwe after its independence, she became the editor at the government’s new Curriculum Development Unit. In 1987, she co-established Baobab Books, which rapidly acquired a reputation as an exciting literary publisher. In 1999, she left Baobab to co-found Weaver Press.
