For option 1 I hope you mean that the book must have first publication date was September 1 2021 or later, not that the author 's first published book was after this date. I haven't read that many Australian authors and finding one just beginning her/his career would require a bit of searching.Thanks,
Andy
Andy I was about to ask the same question!

it's any book published for the first time in the past year. doesn't matter if it's a debut or not
and I can reword the task to make sure that's clear, thanks!

For option 4--Read a book that has been longlistedSome of the books have this-- "Women's Prize for Fiction Nominee (2013)"
some have this--"Women's Prize for Fiction Nominee for Longlist (2013)"
some have this-- "Women's Prize for Fiction Nominee for Shortlist (2022)"
Are we only able to use the ones that say "Longlist" or is it any book from the enitre list?
Meg wrote: "nominee is fine too"But what if is states the book was shortlisted? Will it still work? or just the ones that state it was longlisted?
The task specifically states longlisted but some of the books on the list are shortlisted.
Yes, to be shortlisted a book has to already have been longlisted
Meg wrote: "Yes, to be shortlisted a book has to already have been longlisted"Ok thanks! I'm not familiar with all the book awards and short/long listing so wanted to make sure before I selected something : )
