The Novel Prize, the biennial award for a book-length work of literary fiction written in English by published and unpublished writers around the world, is open for entries.

Now in its third edition, the prize offers US$10,000 to the winner and simultaneous publication of their novel in Australia and New Zealand by Giramondo, in the UK and Ireland by Fitzcarraldo Editions, and in North America by New Directions. The prize recognises works which explore and expand the possibilities of the form, and are innovative and imaginative in style. It is managed by the three publishers working in collaboration.
