We will be announcing the 2011 Orange Prize for Fiction jury tomorrow morning on our new website.
In addition we are also launching a new Facebook page to support it which will host discussions, video content (including the latest judges videos), polls and reader offers etc.
We hope this will be a dynamic page for reading groups and fans, so if you do have any interesting content you want to share feel free to get in touch. It will be closely linked to the website and Twitter page so we hope to grow the fan base over the months.
In the meantime here’s a link to the page where we will be hosting jury videos tomorrow – it would be great if you were able to post a link or even become a fan!
