We’re beyond delighted to share the exciting news that The Siege of Burning Grass by Premee Mohamed and The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera are both shortlisted for the 2024 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction!
In its third year, The Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction is an annual $25,000 cash prize awarded to a writer for a single work of speculative fiction. This year’s panel, who will choose the winner from the ten shortlisted books, includes Margaret Atwood, Omar El Akkad, Megan Giddings, Ken Liu, and Carmen Maria Machado. The winner will be announced on 21st October 2024—Ursula K. Le Guin’s birthday.
This is the first award nomination for The Siege of Burning Grass, and another award nomination for The Saint of Bright Doors, which has already won a Crawford, Locus, and Nebula Award. We couldn’t be happier for both authors and their tremendous novels.
