Last night SPCKA (Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge Australia) hosted the annual Australian Christian Literature Awards, which I had entered this year, submitting a collection of my poems for the Young Australian Christian Writer Award. Amazingly, I won! It was a truly humbling experience to receive the award, and I’d just like to publicly thank all of you for reading and supporting my work. Most of the poems that I submitted were first shared here, and if it hadn’t been for everyone’s wonderful encouragement of what I write, I doubt I would have had the confidence to submit them for the competition. So thanks for your support and for being wonderful readers! I can’t wait to see what God has in store for the future.

The Consolations of Writing 
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
So, when will your book be published so that your readers can buy a copy to read when our computers are down?
Thankyou! I’m not sure what’s going to happen with publication, but I’ll be sure to let you know.
What a blessing! Personally, I’m not amazed you won, but I am grateful the judges had the good sense to recognize the quality of your work. I pray God’s blessing on your writing ministry.
Thanks, Tony. Your encouragement is much appreciated!
Yayyy, well done Matt, very well deserved. Would love to see them all together in a book form.
