Since receiving the Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for an Unpublished Manuscript, Graeme Simsion’s debut novel, The Rosie Project, has attracted critical acclaim and multiple publishing contracts. Simsion was granted the prestigious award in the aftermath of last June’s Emerging Writers’ Festival.
‘In less than a year, The Rosie Project has gone from being an unpublished manuscript to a stunning literary international success story,’ says Victorian Premier and Minister for the Arts, Ted Baillieu.
