  1. My Brilliant Career by Miles Franklin

No list would be complete if we didn't include Miles Franklin, let's be honest. She wrote this book when she was just 16 years old, creating a fictional character that was born long before her time. Sybylla Melvyn was a feisty heroine who didn't quite fit into the typical societal norms of the time (the book was originally published in 1901). It's kind of Australia's answer to Jane Austen and it's a must-read.

 

  1. Ellen van Neerven 

If you want to read the words of someone who can change how you see the world around you then Ellen van Neerven is the author for you. Her debut was Heat and Light, but she has also written incredible books of poetry and more.

 

  1. Claire G. Coleman 

As a First Australian, Coleman has the gift of storytelling running through her veins. If you've been searching for a writer who produces riveting tales that you can't put down until you have read all the way through, then you would do well to pick up Coleman's Terra Nullius.

 

  1. Fury 

This Melbourne-based poet and writer has a passion for tackling complex topics and making them easy to digest and fun to read, too. They speak for the oppressed, those who struggle with gender identity, and provides a voice for those who do not have a voice with which to reach the masses. They communicate their message with compassion and sensitivity. The Kat Muscat fellowship was created to honour Muscat, a writer who tackled subjects of sex and gender and Fury received that fellowship last year, for their work that examined the relationship between gay men and lesbians at the height of the HIV/AIDs crisis.

 

  1. Voss by Patrick White

The book is a fictional account about the explorer Ludwig Leichardt's expeditions in Australia. It was this book that won Patrick White the very first Miles Franklin Award (back in 1957) and it has sat comfortably on every list of best Australian book that has ever been created. Not to mention the fact that White is the only Australian Nobel Laureate (in Literature, which he won in 1973). For years he has been disliked due to what is perceived as arrogance, he has a long history of being difficult. That being said, the book is a wonderful read and if you get the chance, you should pick up a copy.

 

  1. Where the Trees Were by Inga Simpson

This book made the longlist for 2017's Miles Franklin Award and is an easy but compelling read that you will want to finish in a night. It tells the story of four friends as they grow up and leave the simplicity of childhood behind and how not every wrong can be rectified. 

 

  1. Caitlin Maling

Western Australia has a lot to brag about when it comes to their literary prowess, last year Josephine Wilson won the Miles Franklin Award and another young author, Kyra Giorgi, received the Steele Rudd prize. Meanwhile, Caitlin Maling has been publishing her books of poetry (she's up to two now). She can brag a list of fellowships and awards and what's important, aside from her success, is her work. Not only does she produce beautiful poetry, she also writes reviews and essays.

 

  1. Peter Polites 

Down the Hume was his debut novel, one which he made the world wait for considering he has been writing plays for over a decade. This dark realist is a talented writer, yet funny. His debut novel is an unpretentious melodrama that takes place in western Sydney where he hails from. He's a Greek Australian (of the first generation) and his work explores societal borders, both those that are imagined and geographical, as well as the intersectionalism of ethnic and queer identity.

 

  1. Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey 

It's been dubbed Australia's answer to To Kill A Mockingbird and there are parallels. This book tackles a small town summer in the 60s. It kicks off with Jasper Jones, “a rotten child”, chapping the window of Charlie Bucktin. Jasper is Aboriginal and needs Charlie's help, while Charlie's other good friend is Vietnamese. Both of his friends are considered outcasts in the industrial town. A girl is murdered and her body is found at Jasper's home. The boys undertake an investigation to find out who really killed the girl and is trying to frame Jasper for it. It's a time when the Vietnam War is coming and racism is running rampant.
