Susan Stokes-Chapman has been shortlisted for the seventh annual Glass Bell Award with her debut novel, PANDORA!

David Headley, Goldsboro Books co-founder and MD, and founder of the Glass Bell Award says:“The Goldsboro Books Glass Bell Awards’ ethos, from its inception in 2017, is that it is a compelling novel. The books must possess that innate ability to draw the reader in to its pages, so that time stands still and you’re likely to miss your stop on the train. These shortlisted books all achieve that in spades and my team and I are delighted with the results. I’m expecting a few lively discussions around the judging table and can’t wait to see who will be crowned the winner come autumn.”

The Glass Bell Award is open to all genres and is awarded annually to ‘a compelling novel with brilliant characterisation and a distinct voice that is confidently written and assuredly realised’. The winner will be announced on Thursday 28th September 2023 and we have our fingers crossed for Susan!
