Australian Book Industry Awards
At the Australian Publishers’ Association annual awards ceremony, held in Melbourne last night, the most glittering prizes of them all went to Geraldine Brooks for her latest novel, People of the Book. Book of the Year and Literary Fiction Book of the Year are two more awards that Geraldine Brooks can add to an already impressive CV that includes the Pulitzer Prize.
John Flanagan not only received the Book of the Year for Older Readers, but the International Success Award for his hugely popular Ranger’s Apprentice series, now being translated into film.
And the awards keep rolling in for Li Cunxin and Anne Spudvilas. The Peasant Prince was named Book of the Year for Younger Readers. Read about Anne’s trip to China with Li and the making of her stunning illustrations on the Papertigers website.
