MATIA - Shortlisted in the 2025 Western Australian Premier’s Book Awards

I’m truly honoured that Matia has been shortlisted in the 2025 Western Australian Premier’s Book Awards. 

Thank you so much to the State Library of WA and the judging panel for recognising Matia. It’s wonderful that we have these awards to celebrate Western Australian books and authors. I’m really so very grateful to be included. You can read more about it here.

Congratulations to all the shortlisted authors. I can't wait to celebrate together at Stories From The West next month. I’m really looking forward to being on the panel with the other debut authors at the State Library of WA as we speak about bringing our first books into the world. It's on Sunday 27 July and you can get tickets here.

Thank you everyone for supporting Matia and the stories of Greek-Australian women over the generations.

And especially to UWA Publishing for bringing this book to life!
