The Man Booker Prize of Fiction is awarded every year for a novel written in the English language and published in the common wealth countries and Ireland and it aims to represent the very pest in contemporary fiction. The Prize was orginally called the Booker-McConnell Prize, which was the name of the company that sponsored it, though it was better-known as simply the 'Booker Prizw'. In 2002, the Man Group became the sponsor and they chose the new name, keeping 'Booker'.      Line 5
    Publishers can submit books for consideration for the prize, but the judges can also ask for books to be submitted they think should be included. Firstly, the Advisory Committee gives advice if there have been any changes to the rules for the prize and selects the people who will hudge the books. The judging panel changes every year and usually a person can be a judge once only.    10
    Great efforts are made to ensure that the judging panel is balanced in terms of gender and professions within the industry, so that a writer, a critic, an editor and an academic are chosen along with a well-known person from wider society. However, when the panel of judges had been finalized, they are left to make their own decisions without any further involvement or interference from the prize spomsor.    15
    The Man Booker judges include critics, writers and academic to maintain the consistent quality of the prize and its influence is such that the winner will almost certainly see the sales increase considerably, in addition to the $50.000 that comes with the prize.    20
