In the September Readings Monthly, we are thrilled to share the full 2025 shortlists for The Readings Prize for Children’s, Young Adult and New Australian Fiction. It’s a fantastic line-up of Australian writing talent. We also have an update on the impact of the important work of The Readings Foundation and its charitable partners ahead of applications for 2026 grants opening in mid-September. And, of course, we also have an abundance of exciting new releases from established favourites and brilliant newcomers!
