Angela O’Keeffe

@thebooksdesk Great to see you Martin!

Author get-togethers are always fun. Here in Sydney for lunch with @angeokeeffe, who’s deep into her third novel now after last year’s sensational The Sitter. More extraordinary delights to come methinks!

@Audrey_Molloy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Delighted with this review of The Blue Cocktail by Sam Ryan in the current ABR: 'Molloy’s voice is so strong that by the time you finish the collection you may feel as though you know the poet intimately.' australianbookreview.com.au/abr-online/cur…

@thebooksdesk I wish I was that author

Today's happy author problem: trying to decide whether to meet up with my author in Paris or Prague #agentlife

@SteveMinOn 🙏

@DepartureJay Thank you Jay

The Sitter has won the prestigious Christina Stead Prize for fiction. It’s one of my favorite novels I reviewed last year. thevisionarycompany.net/2023/09/24/its…

The 2024 Christina Stead Prize for Fiction goes to ... The Sitter by Angela O’Keeffe. #NSWPLA @angeokeeffe @UQPbooks  Read judges’ comments: sl.nsw.gov.au/awards/christi…

Thank you @bysarahayoub for this lucid piece of writing. Zionists' hysteria in response to our NSW Premier's awards shortlisting is islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism masquerading as 'concern' for the integrity of the awards. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@SteveCastley 🙏
