Diversity in Romance Publishing
The Ripped Bodice released their second annual Diversity in Romance Publishing report. This report focuses on racial and cultural diversity in romance publishing and it's really quite eye-opening. I highly recommend taking a look at their report.
The Story Prize 2018
Elizabeth Strout's short story collection, Anything Is Possible, is the 14th winner of the Story Prize, a $20,000 prize awarded annually to the author of the short story collection named best of the year by a paneled jury. The book must be written in English and first published in the U.S. The other finalists this year were authors Daniel Alarcón for The King Is Always Above the People and Ottessa Moshfegh for Homesick for Another World, each receiving $5,000.
