Do you think that the wrong books win the Booker Prize? Do you feel that quality books are overlooked for the long list?
Well you’re not alone and there’s a venue for you to voice your choice for winners! Join The Guardian’s Books Blog for their “Not the Booker Prize Prize”.
Nominations must roughly follow the guidelines of the actual Booker prize such as:
• Any full length novel (or at least, a long novella) written by a citizen of the Commonwealth, the Republic of Ireland or Zimbabwe.
• No English translation of a book written originally in any other language.
• No self-published books where the author is the publisher or where a company has been specifically set up to publish that book.
• The books have to have a scheduled publication date between 1 October 2008 and 30 September 2009.
