Lucy Sweeney Byrne’s Paris Syndrome longlisted for the Edge Hill Prize

We’re thrilled that Lucy Sweeney Byrne’s writing has once again been recognised by a major award. Paris Syndrome has been longlisted for the Edge Hill Prize, the only UK-based prize for short story collections. A shortlist will be announced by September 2020, with the winner of the £10,000 prize announced in November.

The all-female longlist also includes Irish author Nicole Flattery, published by our friends at The Stinging Fly, and Banshee issue #5 contributor Kirsty Logan. Congrats to all!
