I think I should go to bed early more often. Last time I had an early night, thus ignoring text messages and FB beeps on my phone, I found out Bluegrass Symphony was nominated for a World Fantasy Award. And last night, I fell asleep at nanna-hour… and woke this morning to find out that the Aurealis Awards shortlists are out — and Midnight and Moonshine is up for Best Collection!
Huzzah!
The full list of nominees in all categories can be found here — there are so many great works shortlisted!
The winners of the 2012 Aurealis Awards and the Peter McNamara Convenors Award will be revealed at a gala ceremony on the evening of Saturday 18 May 2013 at The Independent Theatre in North Sydney. Tickets for the ceremony are now on sale for $30 up to March 31. After that date the ticket price is $35. Book here
