I’ve completed this year’s longlist. It’s a strong one and don’t envy the judges whittling them down to 6, but if forced to I’d go: On Earth As It is Beneath; The Wax Child; Taiwan Travelogue; She Who Remains; The Witch; and The Deserters
The @charcopress.com bundle reveal is a highlight of the literary calendar. What a brilliant line up, old favourites (delighted in particular to see Padma Viswanathan translating the first of Ana Paula Maia's “trilogia do fim”) alongside exciting new names. Delighted to resubscribe.

This was another wonderfully distinctive book from Honford Star - "its encyclopedic style and penchant for weirdness" is a perfect tagline!

Great to have the three of you on board for this year.
The Republic Of Consciousness Prize is undergoing a slight change as it celebrates it's tenth year. #Booksky, get this on your radar if it's not already.

Good luck for the launch - I loved the book.
Our shadow panel picked their winner for the 2025 International Booker Prize. Ahead of the official decision. Which book do you feel will emerge as the winner of the official contest? Which one is your favorite? #InternationalBooker2025 shadowingtheibp.substack.com/p/we-have-a-...
Lovely to meet you both and many congratulations. And good luck for the International Booker.
Congratulations to all - great to see @weatherglassbooks.bsky.social and Peepal Tree Press on the list

I've completed the @usrofc.bsky.social Republic of Consciousness Prize, US & Canada longlist. Fantastic selection by the judges and don't envy them having to choose a shortlist. But given they have to, I've forced myself to do so - and my 5 would be:
A very useful run through all of the titles and publishers on the Republic of Consciousness prize longlist from that great champion of indie publishing @eyesonindie.bsky.social
@weatherglassbooks.bsky.social
