We’re delighted to share that these wonderful authors and their books have been shortlisted for the Australian Book Industry Awards (ABIAs) 2019. The ABIA judging panel this year said it was tough to decide a shortlist in all 12 book categories,
Winners for the ABIAs are determined through a process of selection, first by the ABIA Academy of more than 200 industry professionals, and then a shortlist and winners are chosen by our Judging Panels. The winners of these prestigious awards are announced at the publishing industry’s night of nights on Thursday, 2 May at a ceremony in Sydney.

Markus Zusak, Bridge of Clay for the Literary Fiction Book of the Year
