The 2023 Age Book of the Year Winners

The 2023 Age Book of the Year winners have been announced! The awards celebrate outstanding Australian literature and include prizes for both Fiction and Nonfiction.


Robbie Arnott has won the Fiction prize for his novel, Limberlost, while Kim Mahood has won the Nonfiction prize for her essay collection, Wandering With Intent. Each winner receives $10,000 thanks to the Copyright Agency. The winners were announced during last night’s Melbourne Writers Festival opening gala.
