Career

Parrett's first novel, Past the Shallows, was shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Award in 2012[2] and also that year won the Dobbie Literary Prize and Newcomer of the Year at the Australian Book Industry Awards.[1] She was awarded the Antarctic Arts Fellowship, allowing her to travel to Antarctica to complete research for her second novel, When the Night Comes.[3] Her latest adult novel, There Was Still Love, was published in September 2019 by Hachette Australia.

Her first children’s book, Wandi, was published in September 2021. It is a fictional retelling of the true story of a purebred Alpine dingo cub that survived being dropped by an eagle into the backyard of a home in the small town of Wandiligong, in Victoria’s alpine valleys, and later became the subject of a successful research and breeding program for the threatened species.[4]

Parrett also writes short stories, which have been published in journals and anthologies including Meanjin, Island, Best Australian Stories and Griffith Review.[1]
