Speechless about the Walkley Awards!

Exciting news this morning is that Speechless: A Year in My Father's Business has been shortlisted for the 2013 Walkley Book Award!

I edited this book for Melbourne University Publishing last year. It was on a tight deadline, but James Button is a great writer and was wonderful to work with. I'm so pleased to see the book nominated for an award that recognises 'excellence in Australian non-fiction literature and long-form journalism'; it's a very worthy nominee.

The winner will be announced on 28 November — I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.
