the Costa Book Award for fiction in 2010, and long-listed for the Orange Prize in 2011. Her seventh novel, Apple Tree Yard, was selected as a Richard & Judy Book Choice in the spring of 2014. Hilary Mantel commented on the novel, "There can’t be a woman alive who hasn't once realised, in a moment of panic, that she's in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong man. Louise Doughty... leads her unnerved reader into dark territory. A compelling and bravely written book." Her short story "Fat White Cop with Ginger Eyebrows" was long-listed for the 2015 Sunday Times EFG Private Bank Short Story Award. Louise Doughty is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
