Nance Donkin Award for Children’s Literature

– 4 November 2021
It was an honour to judge the Nance Donkin Award for Children’s Literature and announce the winner. The Nance Donkin Award, run by The Society of Women Writers, is a biennial award for a woman author in Australia who writes for children. Nance’s intention in offering this award was to encourage and make known a writer for children deserving more recognition. It was a pleasure to immerse myself in the writing of the shortlisted authors, all of whom are talented writers deserving of recognition. Congratulations to the winner, Anna Ciddor, and the shortlisted authors.
