'Apologia is an offering of nonsensical delight steeped in real-life occurrences, which sees Nicola Gunn’s bizarre wish of becoming a French actress interrogated through a verbal ballet between the real and the surreal. What threatens to be 90 minutes of sensory overload is tamed by the ingenuity of the artistry underpinning the body of work.'

'The prolific author returns to the Frontier Wars in this epic Australian fiction.'

'Winnie Dunn's debut is the first novel to explore the diffusion of a Tongan-Australian culture.'

'A memoir that tracks the author's lived experience with racism as an Asian-Australian woman.'

'Maxine Beneba Clarke's memoir receives a poignant and powerful adaptation.'

'Ellen Van Neervan's latest book is a non-fiction about the nexus between sport, culture and identity.'

'A debut that tracks a life ringed by violence and poverty.'
