Since its inception, Viva la Novella has published surprising, original and brilliant writing from debut and emerging writers. And itssquo;s not just us saying so. In 2017 Marlee Jane Wardosquo;s novella Welcome to Orphancorp won the Victorian Premier squo;s Young Adult Fiction Prize. In 2018 Mirandi Riwoeisquo;s The Fish Girl was shortlisted for the Stella Prize and the Queensland Prize for Fiction. Joshua Mostafansquo;s Offshore was optioned by Australian film-marker Partho Sen-Gupta and critically acclaimed. Although these volumes are slim, they continue to demonstrate how powerful the short form can be.
In 2020 we are delighted to bring you two fresh titles which will be announced on publication in September, accompanied by a publicity campaign and launch party.
