Made the ABR Calibre prize longlist!

I'm on the longlist for the Calibre essay prize with one of the stories from my book manuscript, A Hospital Bed at Home.
Even getting this far is a huge honour - the competition attracts some very impressive writers and previous winning essays have been exemplars of beautiful, subtle, insightful prose. One I particularly loved was Rachel Robertson's piece on family life and autism.
First prize is $10,000 and publication in Australian Book Review.
