We are pleased to announce that the winners of the Scott Prize have been decided. Selecting from the twelve excellent books on the shortlist was an extremely tough process – such variety of writing styles and so many wonderful stories; all the authors deserve recognition. However, after many hours of reading and deliberation, we are delighted to announce that the winners of the inaugural Scott Prize are:
Patrick Holland (Australia): The Source of Sound
David Mullins (US): Longing to Love You
Susannah Rickards (UK): Hot Kitchen Snow
Tom Vowler (UK): They May Not Mean To But They Do
Many congratulations to you all!



I’m leaping up and down here – congratulations to these marvellous writers!
Well done everyone. Look forward to reading more of your work!
Hard choice but all deserving well done.
Congratulations to Patrick, David, Suzannah and Tom. Good luck for very many sales.
Many congratulations to you all!
Congratulations all!
Why isn’t my name up there? Oh yeah.. I didn’t get around to writing it for the 40th year running
