From the Standing Committee on Awards and Prizes
The Rosanne Fitzgibbon Editorial Award (the Rosie) is open for nominations.
The Rosie recognises excellence in editing, as demonstrated in one work, with testimony from the author, publisher and editor. The nomination can come from any of these parties. An editor can self-nominate (be the nominator and nominee), but they will also need the support of the author and publisher (who may be the same in the case of self-published works) on the nomination form. The winner receives a cash prize of A$4,000.
The nominated work may be a published work of fiction or nonfiction in any genre, or another substantial body of work. It must have been published between 22 October 2022 and 21 October 2024.
The nominated editor will have demonstrated a commitment and dedication to their craft by supporting a writer to create the best publishing outcome.
Nominations are open until Monday 21 October 2024.
More information is available on the Awards page of the IPEd website. Full details on eligibility, judging criteria and what you need to include in your nomination are available in the 2025 Nomination Guidelines.
