Published 21 December 2009 · Main Posts Another day, another cool prize… Karen Pickering From now on, you’ll all be hearing a lot more about Meanland. It’s the slightly inevitable name for an upcoming collaboration between the venerable journals, the first event of which is to be held at the new Wheeler Centre for Books, Writing and Ideas at the State Library. You are all warmly invited to attend. But now, the lucky subscriber who won the Meanland Prize, a selection of new release titles, including Bird and Killing, is… Kevin Gillam. Congratulations, Kevin, and thanks for coming on board with our first ever Subscriberthon. That’s practically instant karma!
