Arts South Australia Wakefield Press Unpublished Manuscript Award Winner

Lyn's manuscript will be published by Wakefield Press.

The Award Judges commented Dickens’ manuscript was "a captivating exploration of mixed-race identities, privilege, and power”.

“This lyrical and poetic historical fiction examines one of Australia’s founding figures in a new light. Dickens focuses on two mixed-race characters from colonised lands meeting again on the shores of the fledgling South Australian colony.”
