The Center for Fiction First Novel Prize

About the The Center for Fiction First Novel Prize

Winner, shortlist and longlist from The Center for Fiction's per-year First Novel Prize pages (book-recs/<year>-first-novel-prize). The live site blocks automated requests, so pages were read from web.archive.org snapshots of those official URLs. Year is the prize year: debuts published that calendar year, winner announced each December. Longlists appear on the Center's pages from 2013 on; 2006-2012 list winner and shortlist only. The prize was called the John Sargent, Sr. First Novel Prize (2006-2009) and the Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize (2010-2014). Author-name typos on the pages (Hines, Gradeon, Kristin Valdez Quade, Forouton) are corrected.

Organization: The Center for Fiction. Years are award years, which can differ from publication years. Official site (opens in a new tab)
