UK PANEL'S CHOICE
Panels are formed by five or six industry experts, among them publishers, translators, academics, critics and booksellers. Panellists change every year to allow as many people as possible to be part of the project. The panel meets twice, and decisions are based on their knowledge, experience and intuition, as well as on readers´ reports commissioned by this office. Members of the panel reach their decisions with complete independence.
The panel for the 2023 edition was formed by Dr Cecilia Rossi (Associated Professor in Literature and Translation at the University of East Anglia), Dr Denise Rose Hansen (writer, editor, and literary translator and publisher of Lolli Editions), Paul Engles (editor at MacLehose Press, specialising in bringing authors in translation to the English-speaking world), Sanchita Basu De Sarkar (owner of the Children's Bookshop in London) and Sidone Beresford-Browne (art director and designer at Raspberry Books). The ollowing people have translated book summaries and/or written reports for this issue: Alice Banks, Anne McLean, Beth Fowler, Catherine Mansfield, Chris Moss, Christina MacSweeney, Faye Williams, Hebe Powell, Jacob Rogers, Joe Williams, Judith Willis, Laura McGloughlin, Lindsey Ford, Mara Faye Lethem, Miriam Tobin, Nick Caistor, Peter Bush, Ruth Clarke, Suky Taylor, Victor Meadowcroft and Tim Gutteridge.
