We were profoundly lucky to be able to host Tara June Winch when she was in Thirroul<br />

in 2019 upon the release of her most recent novel The Yield. The Yield went on to be<br />

awarded three NSW Premier’s Literary Awards: <strong>Book</strong> of the Year, Christina Stead Prize<br />

for Fiction and the People’s Choice Award, as well as the Miles Franklin Award. The<br />

audiobook of her novel was also shortlisted for the Australian <strong>Book</strong> Industry Awards<br />

Audiobook of the year. Tara’s heritage is of the Wiradjuri nation in western NSW, and<br />

she grew up in Woonona but is currently residing in France.<br />
