Julián Ibáñez is the latest winner of the L´H Confidencial award
for
unpublished crime fiction novels in Spanish. Even though it's not very
well known among English readers, the L´H Confidencial is a very
important award, granting its winner 12,000 euros and the publication
of the novel by Roca Editorial, one of the largest publishing houses
in the Spanish-speaking world. Likewise, Ibáñez is a prestigious
crime
fiction writer from Spain. I hope some of his works are eventually
translated to English.

Three Percent launched in the summer of 2007 with the lofty goal of becoming a destination for readers, editors, and translators interested in finding out about modern and contemporary international literature.

Unfortunately, I think they stay away from anything that may smack of genre fiction, no matter how lit'ry it may actually be.
