Man Booker Prize Longlist Nominations 2023
Every year, many special awards are given to authors who have written incredible novels. Awards like the Nobel Prize for Literature, Man Booker Prize, Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Awards are four of the most prestigious literary awards in the world. Literary awards are awards which are given to authors to appreciate a special work of theirs.
Earlier, the Man Booker Prize was called the Booker Prize for Fiction. The first awarding event happened in 1969. Since then, every year, the Man Booker Prize has been awarded to the best novel written in English and published in Ireland and the United Kingdom. The winner gets awarded a cash prize of £50,000. A panel of five judges decide which book receives the award. The panel comprises literary agents, publishers, librarians, and authors.
