HUGE Congratulations to Deborah Abela on receiving the Lady Cutler Award 2026-2027.
The Lady Cutler Award is a bi-ennial award, administered by the CBCA NSW Branch, for Distinguished Service to Children’s Literature. It commemorates the contribution to the Children’s Book Council NSW Branch by Lady Helen Cutler, its first patron.
Author, Deborah “is so thrilled to receive an award for something I truly love. Being part of the kids' book community and to write and work with kids is a privilege I've been lucky enough to do since 2002.”
Deborah will be presented with her award at a special ceremony on November 14, 2026. Well done Deborah, what a wonderful achievement!
