List of nominees[edit]

The lists featured in the article are the authors speculated to possibly win the Nobel Prize in Literature based on online betting sites. Some authors were even revealed to have been officially nominated according to verified news agencies. Such lists are quite appropriate side by side with the official list of nominees to be revealed after 50 years, in observing predictions, and speculating deliberations and nominations. The list will be used in analysing who were the favourite authors to win a specific year and the authors shortlisted by the Swedish Academy's Nobel Committee, and as to who were the authors who were officially nominated and the authors favoured to win despite not being nominated. The article will be a reference for literary critics and observers of the Nobel Prizes. For example, Annie Ernaux was favoured to win the 2021 prize based on the betting sites and surprisingly she won the following year. I have also created similar lists from 2009 to 2021 Nobel Prizes in Literature. Therefore, do not remove the lists. JB Hoang Tam (talk) 13:06, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominees[edit]

In spite of the cancellation of the annual Nobel Prize in Literature, several academics and literary societies still have nominated numerous notable authors from around the world.^[1]

Official Nominees[edit]

Every year, the Swedish Academy invites literary societies and academies for nominations which will be kept secret for 50 years.^[2] Despite the need for secrecy, some organizations prefer announcing their nominations to various news agencies. The following list were the authors nominated formally for the 2018 prize:
