The winner of the 2022 'Australian Book of the Year Award' is announced tonight. Here's the shortlist. This award is for books published by small presses in Australia (ie: not the Big 5 publishing houses). The BOTYA was formerly known as 'the Most Underrated Book of the Year Award'.

In good news for writers, there's a thriving independent publishing scene in Australia of small yet mighty publishers such as Affirm, Black Inc , Brio Books, Fremantle Press, Giramondo, Griffith Review, Hardie Grant, Puncher & Wattmann, Scribe and more. Nov 24-26 the Small Press Network (SPN), of which these publishers are members, is running the annual Independent Publishing Conference. There will be some truly useful presentations/statistics/forecasts/workshops across the 3 days and you can attend online or in person at The Wheeler Centre in Melbourne. On Day 3 I'll be running a workshop on publishing timelines ie: what authors need to do when to successfully bring a book to market. So many great sessions. Check it out. https://smallpressnetwork.com.au/event/independent-publishing-conference-2022/
