SMH Best Young Novelists

Each year, The Sydney Morning Herald names the authors it considers to be the best young fiction writers in the country.

In the 29th year of the prestigious award, Melanie Kembrey, editor of Spectrum, leads a discussion with this year's winners about their works and writing processes. A must-see event for emerging writers and supporters of Australian literature.

Previous SMH Best Young Australian Novelist winners include Gillian Mears, Christos Tsiolkas, Hannah Kent and Elliot Perlman.
