橙子文学奖的规则
[Rules for entry]
The Orange Prize for Fiction is awarded to the woman who, in the opinion of the judges, has written the best, eligible full-length novel in English.
The Prize is open to any full length novel, written in English by a woman of any nationality, provided that the novel is published for the first time in the United Kingdom between 1 April of the year before the Prize is awarded and 31 March of the year in which the Prize is awarded.
Although the novel's first UK publication must fall within these dates, it's still eligible if it was previously published in English elsewhere.
Translations of books originally written in other languages are not eligible for the Prize.
We encourage publishers to submit books from all genres. These must be unified and substantial works written by a single author.
Books of short stories and novellas (a novella is a story between 12,000 and 30,000 words long) are not eligible.
