#88 All the Longlists: Stella Prize, Women's Prize, and the Carol Shields Prize with Shawn the Book Maniac

It is well and truly prize season, with three literary prizes for women and non-binary writers dropping their longlists this week. We welcome back Shawn Mooney (aka Shawn the Book Maniac) to talk with Sarah and Jenny about the longlists for the Stella Prize (Aus), the Women's Prize (UK), and the new North American prize for women and non-binary writers, the Carol Shields Prize. We hope you enjoy the episode!

*Correction: The Carol Shields prize money is actually 150, 000 USD!
