In incredible, wonderful news, I’ve been shortlisted in the Australian Fiction Prize 2025 for Mood Violet. The Australian Fiction Prize is a competition run by The Australian and Harper Collins for the best unpublished manuscript. The prize is $20,000 cash, a $15,000 advance and a publishing deal with Harper Collins Australia. AMAZING!! There are only 5 authors shortlisted out of nearly 300 entries. I’m still in shock! It’s so encouraging after all the hard work. Good luck to us all!
<UPDATE: The Fiction Prize was won by Troy Henderson, but I’ve had some little wins too…>
