The #longlist for the #nanshepherdprize 2023 has been announced, @bookstodon . It contains 17 titles, some a bit to expectable in their themes to my taste, but overall it seems a good list to me. #bookstodon #naturewriting #literaryprize #literature

2023 longlist | The Nan Shepherd Prize

From an incredibly strong year of submissions, we are delighted to announce the 17 longlisted titles for the 2023 Nan Shepherd Prize. Each offers a unique perspective on our relationship with the natural world – with writing encompassing land rights, rewilding, conservation, mental health, neurodivergence, wellbeing, art, displacement, exile and immigration. Thank you to everyone who submitted and made it so hard to narrow the list. If you were not longlisted, you might find this resource on next steps useful.
