Tracy Sorensen’s THE LUCKY GALAH (Pan Macmillan) has been shortlisted in the Readings Prize for New Australian Fiction 2018!

The judge’s comments were: “This warm and heartfelt novel gives a fresh perspective of a key moment in Australia’s past – when the Parkes radio telescope brought pictures of the US moon landing to the world. Lucky the galah is a born storyteller and her wry observations will inspire a new appreciation of birds.”

The winner will be announced online in late October, and will be featured in the November issue of Readings Monthly. They will receive $3000 in prize money.
