Editor's Disclaimer

To be very honest — nobody actually said this. AI wrote it in the style of the archive to keep this page from feeling empty while we chase down real quotes. Enjoy the fiction responsibly.

“If I'm being honest, I've judged every literary prize for seven years and I can tell you that we read maybe 40% of the longlisted books cover-to-cover. The rest? First chapter, last chapter, scan the reviews, check if the author has the right publisher and postal code. It's brutal, but we get 340 submissions.”
