HUGE news (just in time for the holidays)! Sinéad Stubbins’ fiction debut Stinkbug (Simon & Schuster) has been named in Guardian Australia’s The 25 best Australian books of 2025!

And just in time to snap up a copy as a gift, or put any vouchers to use and get the book for yourself!

Here is the Guardian write-up, why it’s one of their best of 2025;

“We tell ourselves stories in order to work: maybe the right pitch deck will land the right client; maybe pandering to your fascistic CEO will secure another 30-40 years of pandering to your fascistic CEO. Sinéad Stubbins’ debut novel, Stinkbug, bottles all the anxiety and aspiration of corporate politics into one twitchy work retreat, where the employees of a newly restructured advertising agency fight for their jobs with coded pleasantries and team-bonding exercises. The world of this book is not unlike a tuna melt in an office microwave: it’s horrifying, there’s no escape, and it lingers long after it’s over.” –Michael Sun

Congratulations, Sinéad!
