Australian Book Industry Awards – the Winners
On Tuesday we took a look at who was short-listed for the 2013 Australian Book Industry Awards (ABIAs).
The winners were announced last night at a gala dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel in Sydney as part of the Sydney Writers’ Festival. The 2013 ABIAs celebrate the very best of Australian writing, publishing and bookselling.
The big winner on the night was M. L. Stedman for her multi award-winning novel The Light Between Oceans (Random House). It picked up the major award for the evening, The Book of the Year sponsored by Booktopia along with the Literary Fiction Book of the Year, and Newcomer of the Year.
