The Davitt Awards have always been about more than just recognising great writing; they’re about celebrating the voices that shine a light on society as a whole, push boundaries and keep readers on the edge of their seats. From debut novels to well-established voices, the Davitts honour the diversity and power of Australian women writers in the worlds of crime fiction and true crime.
Here’s to the next 25 years of thrilling stories, groundbreaking talent, and the Australian women who keep the world of crime writing alive and kicking.
Sisters in Crime Australia take great pleasure in inviting you to enter the 2025 Davitt Awards for the best crime or mystery novels and non-fiction by Australian women published in 2024.
This spans adult, young adult and children’s novels, as well as true crime.
Submissions close 31 January.
