The longlist for the 2026 Miles Franklin award was published on Wednesday 20 May 2026, and includes the following ten titles: Discipline by Randa Abdel-Fattah Elegy, Southwest by Madeleine Watts Fierceland by Omar Musa First Name Second Name by Steve MinOn I Want Everything, Dominic Amerena Little World by Josephine Rowe My Heart at Evening by Konrad Muller Salt Upon the Water by Lyn Dickens Tenderfoot by Toni Jordan You Must Remember This by Sean Wilson Presented annually, the Miles Franklin award recognises Australian novels of the highest literary merit. The shortlist will be announced in June, next month, with the winner being named in August. If you’re looking for reading ideas, literary award longlists make a good starting place, and are for me, a de-facto TBR list. I need more hours in the day to keep up with the resulting reading though.
