The International Booker Prize winner will now be announced on August 26 [5]. As bookstores begin to reopen, both in England and abroad, the Booker Prizes have created a downloadable poster [6], booklet [7], and reading guide [8] for stores to promote the shortlist, which was announced June 15.

Videos for each of the shortlisted books are available on Facebook [9], Twitter [10], Instagram [11], and YouTube [12]. Booksellers can learn more about the Booker Prizes by following the official hashtags, #InternationalBooker2020 and #TranslatedFiction.
