The  world’s most valuable annual prize for a single work of fiction, the  Dublin Literary Award is open to all novelists writing in, or translated  into, English. Unique in its nomination process, titles are nominated  each year by public libraries in major cities across the world, making  it a true reader’s accolade.

The 2024 Award winner will be chosen from a diverse and dynamic  international shortlist which includes two Irish writers. This year, the  29th winner of the Dublin Literary Award will be announced by its  Patron, Lord Mayor Daithí de Róiste.

Many of the nominated novels for the 2024 Dublin Literary Award are  available for readers to borrow from public libraries or on digital loan  from BorrowBox. Both the prize and ILFD are sponsored solely by Dublin  City Council.

Presented in partnership with the Dublin Literary Award, a Dublin City Council initiative.
