橙子奖的评选
[How the Prize is judged]
Every June, a panel of five women, all passionate readers and at the top of their respective professions, choose the winner of the Orange Prize for Fiction.
The whole process starts early autumn of the previous year. Booktrust — the Prize administrators — invites UK publishers to submit eligible books, while the Project Director (Harriet Hastings) approaches potential judges.
Judges are appointed by the end of the year and plunge immediately into reading their allotted books, before meeting to decide the longlist, the shortlist and — shortly before the Award Ceremony — the winner.
The judges are told that the Prize aims to 'promote accessibility, originality and excellence' in writing by women and advised to forget about reviews, publicity spends, previous reputations and choose only books that move them, that make them think and, more than anything, that they enjoy!
