Exciting Awards News!

 

We are thrilled that Em Bailey recently won the coveted 2012 Gold Inky Award for her debut YA novel Shift. The Inky’s are an annual  international award for teen literature, voted for online by the readers of www.insideadog.com.au, an initiative run by the State Library of Victoria.

 

We are also extremely proud of Chris Morphew who scooped the Best Book Award for fiction Years 7-9 at three of Australia’s Children’s Choice Awards (VIC, NSW & ACT) this year for The Phoenix Files: Arrival, the first book in his thrilling six-part Phoenix Files series.

 

And one other achievement certainly not to be overlooked is the shortlisting for the The Patricia Wrightston Prize at this year’s NSW Premier’s Literature Awards of our beautiful, CBCA medal winning, picture book Maudie and Bear, written by Jan Ormerod and illustrated by Freya Blackwood.

 

A wonderful way to end another fantastic year of publishing!
