Raelke Grimmer's debut young adult novel White Noise has been longlisted in the 2025 Australian Independent Bookseller Indie Book Awards.
Congratulations Raelke!
The Indie Book Awards were established in 2008 and continue to celebrate the best in Australian writing each year. Publisher's do not submit any books into this award, rather the books on the longlist are nominated by independent booksellers from across the country. Leanne Kadareanu, Head of Books at Leading Edge Retail, proud facilitator of the awards says, "We are thrilled to announce the Longlist for the Indie Book Awards 2025 – the books indie booksellers loved most this past year. Independent bookstores are more than places to purchase books; they are welcoming spaces where readers of all ages find inspiration, guidance, and connection. When these booksellers declare these the best of the best, you know they are worth reading.”
