Simon Ashe-Browne, who has been announced as the winner of the 2011 Dundee International Book Prize. Simon (26) won the prize for his novel `Nothing Human Left’ a psychological thriller set in a Dublin public school as a schoolboy’s criminal desires reach a frightening conclusion. As winner he receives a £10,000 prize and his novel will be published by Glasgow-based publishing house Cargo. “Winning the Dundee International Book Prize and having my novel published by Cargo is a major game changer for me” said Simon. “It is the realisation of a dream I’ve had since I was eight years old and a validation of all those house spent scratching away at the page.” He will be handed the prize at a gala dinner staged as part of the Dundee Literary Festival, featuring leading authors and the actor Brian Cox. The £10,000 prize is the largest offered in the UK to unpublished
authors. Simon will also now speak at this week’s Dundee Literary
Festival at the University of Dundee. His winning book is now on sale.
