For @jenniferdown.bsky.social the greatest impact of her Stella Prize shortlisting & Miles Franklin win was to increase the reach of her book to appear in translation #stelladayout

Kate Brabon says the recognition that comes with prizes is nice, but the money really matters. Shame it’s all taxed, apart from the PM’s Literary Award #stelladayout

State Library Victoria’s collection & archive of material on the Heidi group proved fertile ground for Emily Bitto’s research for ‘The Strays’ especially for the small details #stelladayout

Emily Bitto was interesting in exploring the ordinary people who were behind the trope of the masculine troubled genius figure—fiction allows a focus on the smaller people #stelladayout

Emily Bitto is speaking with Sally Warhaft about writing historical fiction and keeping the emphasis on narrative and character—a ‘light touch’ approach #stelladayout
