Encore Award
The £10,000 Encore Award for the best second novel was first awarded in 1990.[1] It is sponsored by Lucy Astor.[1] The award fills a niche in the catalogue of literary prizes by celebrating the achievement of outstanding second novels, often neglected in comparison to the attention given to promising first books.[2] Entry is by publisher.
