Last week the much anticipated CBCA Shortlist was announced for 2019!

We were so happy to see many Booked Out authors represented on the shortlist: including Clare Atkins, nominated for Between Us, the gorgeous picture book Brindabella by Ursula Dubosarsky and Andrew Joyner, Girl on Wire, illustrated by the lovely Elise Hurst, the fantastic The Dress Up Box by Patrick Guest and more.

Congratulations to all the talented authors and illustrators on the list, and to all those who didn’t get nominated too. We are in awe of your creativity, hard work and dedication to your craft.

We are eagerly anticipating the announcement of the winning titles later in the year.
