We are thrilled to announce the BPA First Novel Award 2020 shortlist. This year’s judges, literary agents Caroline Wood and Carrie Plitt from Felicity Bryan Associates and best-selling author Anna Hope (Expectation, The Ballroom, Wake), found it difficult to choose six titles from an impressive longlist. Prizes include agent introductions as well as cash and an editorial report. We look forward to announcing the winner, as well as the runner-up and highly commended entrant, on the 30th September.

We received over 960 entries from writers throughout the UK, as well as from Australia, New Zealand, the US and Europe. The shortlist contains an interesting mix of genres including Literary, Historical, Psychological and Crime. Settings include rural Jamaica, Belfast, Bristol and West Darfur.

 

Many congratulations to the authors of the following 6 outstanding titles:

 

Bad Material
Brotherhood
The Diabolist
The Word According to Joan
The Curation of Eamonn O’Reilly
Those Who Come This Way
