The Man Booker Prize for FictionThe Man Booker Prize for Fiction represents the very best in contemporary British fiction. One of the world’s foremost literary awards, and one of noteworthy influence, it is a benchmark of critical quality for British fiction writers. It has the power to transform the fortunes of authors, and even publishers. Now in its thirty-eighth year, the prize aims to reward the best novel of the year written by a citizen of the Commonwealth (a.k.a. the British Commonwealth -- 53 allied countries, mostly former colonies of Great Britain) or the Republic of Ireland. The Man Booker judges are selected from the U.K.’s finest critics, writers and academics to maintain the consistent excellence of the prize. The winner of the Man Booker Prize receives £50,000 and both the winner and the shortlisted authors are guaranteed a worldwide readership plus a notable increase in book sales. .

The Man Booker International Prize is a biennial international literary award given to a living author of any nationality for fiction published in English or generally available in English translation. The award, sponsored by the Man Group plc and established in 2005 to complement the Man Booker Prize (above), rewards one writer's overall achievement in literature and their significant influence on writers and readers worldwide. The award is therefore a recognition of the writer's body of work, rather than any one title.
