Congrats to the six author shortlisted for the Ethel Turner Prize in the NSW Premier's Literary Awards.
Cath Crowley for Graffiti Moon
Melina Marchetta for The Piper's Son
Kirsty Eagar for Saltwater Vampires
Belinda Jeffrey for Big River, Little Fish
Jaclyn Moriarty for Dreaming of Amelia
Michelle Cooper for The FitzOsbornes in Exile
Is the Ethel Turner a prize only for Ethels, or Kirstys or Caths? Nope. But in a hell-strong field of YA published last year, the brightest, shiniest books just happened to be written by women. Or so the Ethel Turner judges thought.
I have some reading to do.
