Several first-time authors were on the list for the Man Booker prize! This is great since it gives even us first-timers a chance at achievement in the literary field on our first go.

Five first novels are in the running for this year's Man Booker prize, making it onto a longlist that has passed over many big names in favour of an eclectic selection encompassing small presses, humour and thrillers.

Salman Rushdie (The Enchantress of Florence), Amitav Ghosh (Sea of Poppies) and Philip Hensher (The Northern Clemency) head up the big hitters in a 13-strong list that ignores some of the predicted favourites, including Tim Winton, Peter Carey, Damon Galgut and John Burnside.
