the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards Shortlist 2022

The Prime Minister’s Literary Awards play an important role in supporting a national appreciation of Australian literature. The shortlisted entrants showcase thought provoking, moving and entertaining stories that will succeed in captivating readers.
