Another Exciting Chapter for Dundee International Book Prize The 2009 Dundee International Book Prize has been launched - with a new high calibre judging panel set to rule on entries from around the world. Award-winning author Kirsty Gunn, Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Dundee, will chair the panel which will also include journalist, author and broadcaster Magnus Linklater, a former chairman of the Scottish Arts Council. The stature of the judges reflects the increasing recognition of the Dundee International Book Prize. It is now established as the UK's premier prize for emerging novelists, with a £10,000 cash award together with publication by Birlinn Ltd, publishers of the Polygon imprint. The prize is a joint venture between the City of Discovery Campaign, the University of Dundee, and Birlinn. See the latest press release for more details.
