October Newsletter

October 1, 2024

The Republic of Consciousness Prize email newsletter today shared highlights from this year’s submission list, representing a small fraction of the many titles under consideration. The Prize saw a fifty percent increase in the number of participating publishers this year, and plans to bring attention to as many of them as possible even before the longlist is decided.

Three books that have surfaced during the judging panel’s early discussions are Melvill by Rodrigo Fresán (translated by Will Vanderhyden) from Open Letter, Lublin by Manya Wilkinson from And Other Stories, and To & Fro by Leah Hager Cohen from Bellevue Literary Press., all of which focus to considerable extent on fictional children.

Further details about these novels can be found in this month’s newsletter; interested readers can subscribe on the Republic of Consciousness website.
