It s a bit of a conundrum : Bug Week author Airini Beautrais on her surprise Acorn Prize win

On Wednesday night, Airini Beautrais suddenly became $57,000 richer when she won the Jann Medlicott Acorn Prize for Fiction, New Zealand’s premier book award. But you won’t see her quitting her day job any time soon. “It’s kind of like this dream scenario to just write for a year, but then what will you do the year after that?” Beautrais wondered aloud. “You need money to pay the bills, your kids still need food and clothing, and you’ve used up your funds. It’s a bit of a conundrum.” Beautrais was speaking the morning after the Ockham New Zealand Book Awards ceremony – still, she admitted, slightly reeling from her big win the night before.

UCOL Whanganui Lecturer Takes Top Prize At Ockham New Zealand Book Awards

Friday, 14 May 2021, 12:56 pm It wasn’t your ordinary Wednesday, at least not for UCOL lecturer Airini Beautrais. At the New Zealand Ockham Book Awards it was announced that Beautrais has won the Jann Medlicott Acorn Prize for Fiction – the country’s most prestigious literary fiction award, coming with a $57,000 prize. Beautrais won for her collection of short stories ‘ Bug Week’, which judges described as “a tightly-wound and remarkably assured collection”. The win has been viewed as something of an industry upset, especially given that Beautrais was a first time nominee, and is only the second person in 53 years to win for a collection of short stories.
