Comment: This was already decline once before under the title Draft:The Novel Prize. S0091 (talk) 23:45, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Most of the sources are brief mentions or interviews. The New Yorker makes no mention of the prize so should not be used. Publisher's Weekly is the best source but a lot of it relies on what Epler says so leans weak for notability. S0091 (talk) 20:58, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
The Novel Prize is a biennial literary award for a sustained work of literary fiction written in English, and is open to both published and unpublished writers from around the world.[1] The prize seeks to reward novels of exceptional artistic and literary merit which demonstrate formal as well as stylistic innovation.[2] The winner of the Novel Prize receives $10,000 as well as publication in North America by New Directions, in the UK and Ireland by Fitzcarraldo Editions, and in Australia and New Zealand by Giramondo.[3] It is the only literary prize of its kind, offering not only publication but an unparalleled international reach to its winners and their work.[4] Due to the literary significance of the prize's host publishers, winning writers can also expect to receive international publicity and high profile review.[5][6][7]
History[edit]
Prior to the inaugural Novel Prize in 2020, Fitzcarraldo Editions ran a similar but annual novel prize, beginning in 2018, which was open only to authors resident in the UK and Ireland.[2] In 2019, Fitzcarraldo asked New Directions, with whom a handful of their authors were already shared, to partner with them on the prize, and later, Giramando.[4]
Judging[edit]
During the judging process, the total number of manuscripts received varies but has so far numbered between 1,000 and 1,500.[4] Each of the three publishers reads the submissions from their territory, and after selecting five to ten favorites, forwards them onto the other two publishers.[4] A shortlist is then assembled and announced a month or two ahead of when the winning title is announced. In 2022 the prize was shared between two writers.[8]
