NSW Premier's Literary Awards 2012

Award sponsored wholly by the University of Technology, Sydney.

The UTS Glenda Adams Award ($5,000) is for a published book of fiction written by an author who has not previously published a book­length work of fiction.

Named in honour of the Glenda Adams, the late Australian novelist, short story writer and teacher of creative writing, the award seeks to recognise outstanding new literary talent. The winning author may produce an excellent piece of writing in a traditional fictional form or may challenge and expand the boundaries of the genre.

The winner of the UTS Glenda Adams Award is chosen from entries submitted for the Christina Stead Prize.

Previous winners of the UTS Glenda Adams Award include Denise Young, Steven Lang, Tara June Winch and Rhyll McMaster.
