The Queensland Literary Awards has quietly revealed its list of shortlisted authors for 2025, following a delay caused by a mass resignation of its judges in late May this year. The exodus was triggered by an incident separate from the awards, when the State Library of Queensland rescinded a fellowship from First Nations writer KA Ren Wyld earlier in May.
The Queensland Literary Awards shortlist announcement was originally slated for 5 August, with winners expected to be announced on 12 September. The announcement of the winner has been confirmed for 26 September.
