The first Manchester Fiction Prize was launched in March 2009 and, by the closing date of 7th August, had attracted more than 1,700 entries from over 40 countries. Judges Sarah Hall, M. John Harrison and Nicholas Royle were thrilled by the scope and quality of the submissions, and selected a short-list of six from which the winners were chosen.
