We're overjoyed to hear that Lisa L. Hannett's Aurealis Award-winning collection, Bluegrass Symphony, has been shortlisted for the Onkaparinga People's Choice Awards.
As we understand it, the judges for these awards are participants from local book clubs, making these awards quite different.
Judging is due to take place between now and August 2013, so it'll be some time before we know more.
Huge congratulations to Lisa L. Hannett on her fantastic achievement!
The People's Choice Award is part of the 2013 South Australian Readers' and Writers' Festival and is an initiative of the City of Onkaparinga working in partnership with the South Australian Writers' Centre to celebrate South Australian authors.
