Porter also commended work by the award-winning author Susannah Dickey, who was longlisted for the Sunday Times Short Story Award last year; Leah Naomi Green, Lance Larsen, and Sammy Weaver, former winner of the prize.

We're thrilled to share that...

Genvieve Carver is Max Porter's winner of this year's Moth Nature Writing Prize 2022, with her poem 'Postcards from a Fulmar'! 🌿✨️
