We are delighted to announce the longlist for the Curtis Brown First Novel Prize. We received 3,000 submissions from across the UK & Ireland. We were so impressed by the standard of the submissions; it was truly difficult to choose our longlist. After many weeks of reading, our judging team narrowed the longlist to these 20 entries. We are proud of our longlist which represent a range of genres and writers’ backgrounds. We will be announcing our shortlist of 6 titles on the 3rd October. Our judge, Tracy Chevalier will be choosing a winner and runner-up which will be announced on the 10th October. Many congratulations to the writers of these 20 titles: #beauisfineBlessed JoanBrotherhoodDazzlingIn the Black BloodInstructions for HeartbreakLearwifeMira and TahliilMonkeyflowerPenny BapsServiceTeardrop FallsThe ComplainantThe GreyThe HavenThe Old LieThe Three Sisters Below Strang WoodThe Wickedry of Mrs WoodVictorianaZN
