Wonderful morning at the Tuggeranong Library, celebrating the ACT Book of the Year Award. Huge congrats to Chris Hammer for his win, to Ayesha Inoon for her HC for Untethered, and to all the shortlistees. So lovely to meet everybody!
I may have squeaked when the Minister announced that #TheMeasureOfSorrow was Highly Commended. A massive result for a humble spec fic collection…
If you’re so inclined, you can watch the full ceremony (c/o of Libraries Act) below. Worth it for Tara Cheyne’s opening speech and Chris Hammer’s acceptance – inspiring stuff!
How wonderful! Delighted to learn that The Measure of Sorrow is shortlisted for an ACT Literary Award. Congratulations to all the local authors on the shortlist.
Downright chuffed to learn The Measure Of Sorrow is on the Aurealis Award shortlist for best collection. There’s some esteemed company on the list, and it means the world to even get a nod.
Congrats to all the shortlistees and a big shout out to my homies on the list – some with 2, 3 and 4 noms!
