On the 21st April 2020, the longlist of sixteen novels was narrowed down to six shortlisted novels, including Offill's "miracle of a novel". The winner of the prize will be announced on the 9th September 2020, and they will receive £30,000, and a limited edition bronze figurine called the ‘Bessie’.
