After the announcement of the Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards last Thursday, the team here at Booked Out would like to congratulate all the winners, and commend our speakers for their shortlists!

These included Randa Abdel-Fattah for her non-fiction book Coming of Age in the War on Terror, Maxine Beneba Clarke for her poetry collection How Decent Folk Behave, Rebecca Lim for her young adult novel Tiger Daughter, Leanne Hall for her young adult novel The Gaps and Gary Lonesborough for his novel The Boy from the Mish.

We highly recommend these reads, so let us know what you think of them! You can find us on Instagram at @bookedoutagency and on Facebook at @BookedOutAgency.
