- D.M Cornish – Monster Blood Tattoo Book Two: Lamplighter
- Alison Goodman – The Two Pearls of Wisdom
- Nette Hilton – Sprite Downberry

Take a look at the other categories, too. Helen Garner and Tim Winton have been on many a short list in the past twelve months. Can one of them take the Christina Stead Prize for Fiction?
