''The Age'' Book of the Year Awards were annual literary awards presented by Melbourne's ''The Age'' newspaper. The awards were first presented in 1974. Since 1998 they were presented as part of the Melbourne Writers Festival. Initially, two awards were given, one for fiction (or imaginative writing), the other for non-fiction work, but in 1993, a poetry award in honour of Dinny O'Hearn was added.〔Wilde et al. (1994) p. 23〕 The criteria were that the works be "of outstanding literary merit and express Australian identity or character"〔 and published in the year before the awards were made. One of the award-winners was chosen as The Age Book of the Year. The awards were discontinued in 2013. ==''The Age'' Book of the Year== (Years link to corresponding "() in literature" or "() in Australian literature" articles.) *2012: ''1835: The Founding of Melbourne & The Conquest Of Australia'' by James Boyce〔(The Words That Count )〕 *2011: ''Indelible Ink'' by Fiona McGregor〔("Winning Words" by Jason Steger ''The Age'', 27 August 2011 )〕 *2010: ''Lovesong'' by Alex Miller〔('Simple love story' wins Age award )〕 *2009: ''Things We Didn't See Coming'' by Steven Amsterdam〔(Steger, Jason (2009) "Apocalyptic novel wins book of the year" in ''theage.com.au'', 22 August 2009 )〕 *2008: ''American Journeys'' by Don Watson〔(Steger, Jason (2008) "US travel memoir wins Age Book of the Year Award" in ''theage.com.au'', 2008-08-23 )〕 *2007: ''Colonial Ambition: Foundations of Australian Democracy'' by Peter Cochrane〔(Cassin, Ray (2007) "Entitled to tell a story" in ''theage.com.au'', 2007-08-25 )〕 *2006: ''Friendly Fire'' by Jennifer Maiden〔(Poet of the political takes Age Book of the Year prize )〕 *2005: ''Plenty: Digressions on Food'' by Gay Bilson〔(More than restaurants )〕 *2004: ''Totem'' by Luke Davies〔(Totem wins The Age Book of the Year )〕 *2003: ''Of a Boy'' by Sonya Hartnett〔(The Austlit Gateway News September/October 2003 )〕 *2002: ''Recollections of a Bleeding Heart: Paul Keating PM'' by Don Watson *2001: ''Untold Lives and Later Poems'' by Rosemary Dobson〔"The Age" 25.08.2001, p12〕 *2000: ''Isobel on the Way to the Corner Shop'' by Amy Witting *1999: ''Sacred Places: War Memorials in the Australian Landscape'' by K.S.
