Congratulations Irma ✨
Utterly thrilled to find that I’ve been shortlisted in a second category of the ACT Notable Awards for my novel The Breaking! This book is my heart’s work. A massive thank you to Anna Solding and @MidnightSunOne for championing it, and again to @actwriters. Happy days!
Thank you Saskia! What a terrific review ✨
"The Rat Catcher’s Apprentice (by Maggie Jankuloska) is a gripping novel about a young girl, Marie, sent to catch rats during the Middle Ages, where the plague was always near." Saskia, age 12. Read Saskia's full review:

ALT Image shows the cover of a middle grade novel: The Rat-catcher's Apprentice by Maggie Jankuloska. The cover illustration shows the silhouette of a child entering a dark forest, on the branches of trees and the forest floor we can see the silhouettes of rats. At the bottom of the cover there is a quote from author Kate Gordon: "An exceptional novel, full of twists and turns and intrigue, with a heart that is brave and kind and true. I adored this timeless story."
A fabulous review of our new book, ‘The Rider On The Bridge’ ✨ Thank you @NewtownBooks
"As time goes on it becomes less and less clear who is helping whom, who is using whom, and to what extent the world in which Kitten finds himself even exists at all."

On the first day of the Australian winter, we can finally show you the stunning cover of this amazing YA novel set in the Alaskan winter. J.A. Cooper’s debut, ‘Something About Alaska’, is a thrilling dog sled ride through more snow than you ever imagined encountering ✨

"The Colour of Music shows us what music can be like for people with synaesthesia. Reading the book has meant I can listen to music in a new way."
Jamie, age 8, reviews THE COLOUR OF MUSIC by Lisa Tiffen, illustrated by Matt Ottley. alphabetsoup.net.au/2022/03/…
ALT Image shows the cover of a children's picture book: The Colour of Music by Lisa Tiffen and illustrated by Matt Ottley. The cover is predominantly yellow with lightly marbled swirls of other pastel colours. There is a child with brown skin wearing headphones and dancing with eyes closed. And at the bottom of the illustration is a close-up illustration of the scroll-end of a violin.

Delighted that The Breaking is kicking off the High Country Writers Festival’s annual book club. It’s been the toughest year for debut novelists, so it’s lovely to see it still getting out there. If you’re buying a book, consider opting for a debut released during the pandemic.
Calling all creatives!
How would you like the opportunity to design the front cover for one of our upcoming novels? We are on the hunt for Australian illustrators and applications are open NOW.
Submissions will close September 30 at 11:59pm ✨
