Each publisher may also submit a list of up to 3 further recommended titles, published by him during the same time frame mentioned above. The judges shall revise these recommendations and may call in any recommended book if necessary, as well as any book that has not been submitted nor recommended. The closing of submissions for the first round is the 31st of July 2008.
Any new title by an author who has previously won the IPAF, and any title by an author who has been shortlisted for the IPAF, may be submitted. But no previously submitted novels are acceptable.
