You may have noticed the Australian Women Writer's Challenge icon on the sidebar of my blog. It is a yearly event that is close to my heart, given that I am a female Australian author. Started in 2012 as a way to correct the gender imbalance in Australian literature, the whole premise of the challenge is to encourage people to discover the vast talent within our female authors and share what they have read either through simply listing their books read or by posting a review. Through the tireless work of volunteers, the AWW challenge has grown and flourished. You can check out the Australian Women Writers website HERE. You can also click in the sidebar to see books I have read and reviewed in previous years. As readers this is a way you can support our local industry, so please check it out and share with other readers and friends. |
