''Granta'' Best of Young British Novelists

In 1983, ''Granta'' (issue #7) published a list of 20 young British novelists as names to watch out for in the future. Since then, the magazine has repeated its recognition of emerging writers in 1993 (issue #43), 2003 (issue #81) and 2013 (issue #123). In 1996 (issue #54), ''Granta'' published a similar list of promising young American novelists, which was repeated during 2007 (issue #97). In 2010 ''Granta'' issue #113 was devoted to the best young Spanish-language novelists. Many of the selections have been prescient. At least 12 of those identified have subsequently either won or been short-listed for major literary awards such as the

Ageism controversy

As with other bodies giving awards to younger writers, ''Granta'' has been accused of contributing to

Philip Hensher has said that he "regards such age-related line-ups as artificial and particularly unfair to women".
