We are thrilled to announce that Dr Malachi McIntosh's collection, Parables, Fables, Nightmares, has been shortlisted for the prestigious Edge Hill Prize 2024!
Founded in 2006 by the world’s first Professor of Short Fiction, Ailsa Cox, it remains the only national literary award to recognise excellence in a published, single-authored short story collection.
The competition continues to celebrate both emerging and established writers, highlighting the diversity of contemporary short fiction from across the UK and Ireland.
Sarah Schofield, Edge Hill Short Story Prize organiser, said: “Short stories are the perfect vehicle to examine and explore both the small and vast complexities of being human. I love the way a short story can surprise, shock and delight, offering epiphanies into shared lived experiences."
You can listen to an interview with Malachi and his publisher below.
