In a new post on the Giramondo website, see Jenny Grigg's design process in creating the cover art for Beverley Farmer's A Body of Water, which won ABDA award for Best Designed Literary Fiction Cover last week. giramondopublishing.com/jenny-grigg-ab…

So many good-looking books as always. Delighted to see Mary Callaghan in the Hall of Fame. What a talent, what a line-up of beautiful covers for some of Australia’s best books in the past 30 years.

Have just seen the final cover for my poetry collection, and let me just say that Allison Colpoys is a damn genius. This is cover #7 from her (inc 2 x covers for The Hate Race and Foreign Soil, Carrying The World and Fashionista) and she has bat it out of the ballpark again 🙌🏾
