Indie Book Awards
Australian independent booksellers have announced DUSK by ROBBIE ARNOTT (Picador Australia) as the best book from the last year, and the winner of the Indie Book Awards 2025 Book of the Year.
The Book of the Year is voted by independent booksellers across the country from the six category winners. Bookseller judge Claire Leyton from Paperchain Bookstore Manuka (ACT) described Arnott’s book: “From the very beginning I was captivated by the language and story. Robbie paints this beautifully vivid picturesque world that is harsh and can be brutal but is also wonderful and breathtaking. I felt like I could see and touch the world inside these pages. I also loved that nothing felt unnecessary, every word felt like it was there for a reason.”
Among the Winners for the Indie Book Awards 2025 are:
BOOK OF THE YEAR
Dusk by Robbie Arnott (Picador Australia)
FICTION
Dusk by Robbie Arnott (Picador Australia)
