Daisy Johnson's been named the winner of the £10,000 Edge Hill Prize for a short story at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
Johnson’s collection, 'Fen', features stories are set in an uncanny and weirdly magical East Anglian landscape and was chosen from a shortlist of five.
The delighted winner told QLocal: “This is the first prize I've won for the collection and it is such a privilege.
"I am honoured to be among so many amazing female short story writers, and I hope to be involved with Edge Hill again in the future.”
The Short Story prize is the only UK-based award that recognizes excellence in published short story collections and also includes a £1,000 Reader’s Choice Award to an author from the shortlist. This went to Lucy Caldwell for her collection, 'Multitude'.
Prize organiser, Ailsa Cox, professor of short fiction at the university, added: “This has been a bumper year for the prize.
"The standard of entries has been astonishing.”
