We’re so excited to announce that Edward Hogan’s story story, ‘Becky and the Rockettes’ has been longlisted for the V.S. Pritchett Short Story Prize.

The V.S. Pritchett was founded by the Royal Society of Literature in 1999 to commemorate the centenary of the renowned 20th-century author. The winner will receive £1,000 and their entry will be published in Prospect magazine online and the RSL Review. Last year,  Tom Vowler won the award for his short story Voyagers.

Stories are judged anonymously by a panel of writers. The winner will be announced at the awards ceremony on Thursday 20 February.
