History
The Elyne Mitchell Rural Women's Writing Award commemorates the life and work of Australian author Elyne Mitchell, internationally renowned for her Silver Brumby series. Elyne's love of wildlife, and in particular the azure kingfisher, is represented in the logo for this award, designed by Giselle Dosen for Friends of Corryong Library. The award has been established to encourage rural women all over Australia to write their stories, fact or fiction.'
