1 - I have a simple plea - could more publishers start crediting cover designers and illustrators on their social media posts, particularly cover reveals which I find odd when it’s missing 🙏🏾

Have just seen the final cover for my poetry collection, and let me just say that Allison Colpoys is a damn genius. This is cover #7 from her (inc 2 x covers for The Hate Race and Foreign Soil, Carrying The World and Fashionista) and she has bat it out of the ballpark again 🙌🏾

So many good-looking books as always. Delighted to see Mary Callaghan in the Hall of Fame. What a talent, what a line-up of beautiful covers for some of Australia’s best books in the past 30 years.
