1 The Miles Franklin Literary Award : Investigating the Value of a Local Prize on the Global Stage Airlie Lawson , Catriona Mills , 2021 single work criticism
— Appears in: Antipodes , vol. 35 no. 1 2021; (p. 124-144)

'The Miles Franklin Literary Award has long been recognized as Australia’s most prestigious literary prize: winners include Patrick White, Thea Astley, Thomas Keneally, Peter Carey, David Malouf, Kim Scott, Shirley Hazzard, Anna Funder, and Michelle de Kretser. But it is given for works that “present Australian life in any of its phases.” So how is this very local prize valued on the global stage? There is little empirical research into the connection between national literary prizes and the licensing of international rights. Yet these licenses are a recognized indicator of literary value. Building on the existing records in the AustLit database, Miles Franklin Rights Project researchers tracked down twenty-one years of international editions of shortlisted and Miles Franklin–winning titles to discover the where, when, and who of their publishing lives. The result is a fully searchable data set that researchers can draw on to explore the relationship between local and global literary value. This article demonstrates the benefit of combining digital bibliographical approaches with sociologically informed publishing studies to produce new data that can be used to discover new insights into Australia’s status on the international literary field.' (Publication abstract)

1 1 y separately published work icon Success Story - International Rights Sales of Australian-Authored Books : Main Report Jan Zwar , Paul Crosby , Airlie Lawson , Sunny Y. Shin , North Ryde : Macquarie University , 2021 23330464 2021 multi chapter work criticism essay 'Over many years Australian book publishers, literary agents and authors have reported rights sales success in major English language territories such as the USA, UK and Canada and translation markets including Germany, France, China and Taiwan to the industry’s Books+Publishing’s ‘Think Australian’ e-newsletter and to the Visiting International Publishers (VIPs) program run by the Australia Council for the Arts. Anecdotally, the international success of Australian-authored books has been acknowledged and celebrated within the industry. Despite the important commercial and cultural contribution of these rights sales and other forms of export, there has been and remains a lack of unified research that examines the patterns of growth and nature of rights sales in a systematic way.'

1 4 y separately published work icon Don't Tell Eve Airlie Lawson , North Sydney : Vintage Australia , 2009 Z1606879 2009 single work novel

'Set against a background of irritatingly blue skies, trendy restaurants and catty parties, Don't Tell Eve is a fast-paced, witty novel about obsession - and revenge.

'Papyrus Press was a respectable, old-fashioned publishing house. Until Eve arrived. Bursting into the office with all the pizzazz of an amateur ballroom dancer, Eve is quickly discovered to be a devil, who doesn't know how to wear Prada. She's been told she must turn the company's flagging finances around, and she doesn't care if her means are fair, foul, ethical, legal or even sensible: they just have to be effective.

'With the aid of her sadistic sidekick Hilary, Eve believes she has everything under control. But she hasn't counted on interference from the enigmatic Jess, a woman with her own creative agenda.

'There is also the small matter of a missing bad-boy celebrity chef, a radical management book, a notorious artist and a set of mysterious dolls. And then there's Eve's inscrutable and damaged husband, who might well have an agenda of his own ...

'A fresh, funny, contemporary novel full of intrigue and a hefty dose of sexual tension, Don't Tell Eve will have you giggling - and guessing - until the very end.' (From the publisher's website.)
