The Lire en Poche festival has announced its 2026 prize winners, according to Livres Hebdo. Four authors were named laureates: Nicolas Rouillé, Céline Leroy, Erik L'Homme and Johana Gustawsson.
Livres Hebdo's report does not specify which prize category each writer received, nor the titles of the works being honored. The Lire en Poche salon, held each autumn in Gradignan near Bordeaux, is dedicated to paperback literature and has run its own set of prizes for several years, typically spanning genres from crime fiction to young-adult writing and beyond.
Erik L'Homme is known for his work in fantasy and young-adult fiction, while Johana Gustawsson has built a readership in crime and thriller writing. No further detail on the specific books recognized this year, the jury's composition, or a public ceremony date was included in the available report.
