Monash University Publishing is proud to announce that Cathy Perkin’s The Shelf Life of Zora Cross has been highly commended in the 2021 National Biography Award.
Be sure to visit the book page to see more rave reviews and information.
The National Biography Award, supported by the Nelson Meers Foundation, celebrates excellence in biography, autobiography and memoir writing.
With a prize pool of $42,000 it is the nation’s richest prize for Australian biographical writing and memoir.
The Award was established in 1996 by Dr Geoffrey Cains and generously supported by the late Michael Crouch AC to encourage the highest standards of writing in biographical writing and to promote public interest in the genre.
On 6 August 2018 the State Library announced that the Nelson Meers Foundation would be supporting the Award moving forward. The Nelson Meers Foundation has generously increased the value of the prize for each of the shortlisted authors to $2,000. The Nelson Meers Foundation’s key objective is to foster innovative artistic and cultural expression, and to encourage greater engagement with the diversity, complexity and richness of our cultural sector. They support organisations and projects that utilise the arts to create positive social change, promote individual wellbeing, community cohesion and cultural tolerance.
In recognition of the long standing support from the late Michael Crouch AC the Nelson Meers Foundation will also fund an additional prize in his name for a first published biography/memoir by an Australian writer.
The Award’s growth and success recognises and reflects the continuing interest in stories about people with extraordinary lives.
Julian Burnside, Jennifer Robinson and Suelette Dreyfus discuss Wikileaks and the fate of Julian Assange.
The Australian government’s treatment of Julian Assange has revealed more than a library of leaked documents ever could about how power is exercised in the relationship with the United States, writes Andrew Fowler.
I’m delighted to welcome you to the official launch of Cathy goes to Canberra: Doing politics differently, by former federal independent MP and Monash alumna Cathy McGowan AO.
I’d like to begin by acknowledging the people of the Kulin Nations, and pay my respects to their Elders – past, present and emerging.
Australia has used a range of torture techniques against Julian Assange, writes Dr Lissa Johnson.
