Last year, we were excited about Melbourne author SJ Finn’s This Too Shall Pass; we had a real coup with David Musgrave’s outstanding novel Glissando, which was shortlisted for the PM’s Literary Award for fiction; we launched the first novel by miles vertigan: Life Kills.

Here’s to more of the same in 2012, and for all you writers out there: get submitting!
