The Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant is awarded to writers 'in the process of completing a book of deeply researched and imaginatively composed nonfiction'. The Whiting Foundation aims to offer financial support to writers whilst they pursue 'original' and 'ambitious' projects. 

Leah's book, This Woman's War: Women and Music in World War II, will be published by Faber & Faber (UK) in due course. Her previous publication, Quartet: How Four Women Challenged the Musical World (2023), also won a number of awards. Leah held a Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship at Christ Church – specialising in twentieth-century music – following her BA and MSt in Music. She was selected as one of the BBC/AHRC New Generation Thinkers in 2016, and won the Observer/Anthony Burgess Prize for Arts Journalism in 2015.
