It will be their turn to judge the stories of young as well as accomplished Italian authors. Meanwhile, the panel already selected the ten worthiest manuscripts among all received ones, which will be published in the anthology \u201cI racconti del caff\u00e8\u201d (<\/span>Stories about coffee<\/span><\/em>). Five finalists will be chosen among these, while three winners will step on the podium and\u00a0<\/span>be awarded with prize money; these winners will be revealed during the prize-giving evening held in the Moak office district on October 11<\/span>th<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the 2014 edition carries thriller connotations, the unreleased stories will inevitably smell of coffee: topic participants had to rely on. Besides the opportunity to emerge by taking part in one of the most renowned national literature awards, young talents and aspiring writers will have the chance to share their passion for writing with authors of international fame.<\/span><\/p>\n
