Of the many different circumstances which can substantially affect the trajectory of a young writer’s career, few are as immediate and effective as winning ‘the Vogel’. But what happens next?
Katherine Brabon, winner of the Australian/Vogel's Literary Award 2016, will chat with Hannah Kent about the experience of publishing a first book and being thrust into the spotlight – and the merits and impacts of literary prizes.
Presented in partnership with the Kill Your Darlings First Book Club.
