UWA Publishing is releasing a new edition of Elemental for the Australia/New Zealand territory, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. It’s a new size and a new price—with a new cover, too. I confess I will miss the original image of my wee reid-heid, with her arresting stare, but I love this new, atmospheric vision for the novel…
I’m told the new edition will be in stores on 1 December but is available for ordering via the UWA Publishing website next week.

So pleased to hear this. The book deserves a much wider audience. When I told friends and family in the North East of Scotland that you were on tour a few weeks ago , several said they had already read Elemental. One Aberdeenshire friend had already discussed it in her book group. The consensus (from other women like me who had gutting quines as mothers and fishermen fathers )was that the book evoked beautifully and realistically the travail of these loons and quines. If there’s any justice in Oz , we’ll see and hear you at the Adelaide Writers Festival yet.
How lovely to hear, Brenda. Many thanks for that, and for waving the flag, so to speak, among your friends in the UK—I really appreciate it 🙂
Reblogged this on Perth Words… exploring possibilities. and commented:

Thanks, Wen, as always 🙂 x
Love the new cover Amanda and congratulations on the new edition to be released. Well done.
Thanks, Pat. Champagne-worthy, I think! 🙂
Most certainly is.
Wonderful stuff, Amanda. FYI, I’ve been using a scene from Elemental in a new course I’m running on ‘Showing and Telling’ as it gives me the opportunity to promote the book to new readers 🙂
Oh, what a champion you are, Angela! Many thanks for that, and I’m glad you like the new cover, too 🙂
Congratulations!
Thanks, Lisa 🙂
Love this new cover Amanda…will look for it in the bookstores to add to my bookshelf…I read the eBook version. Always buy the hard copy of my favourite reads and Elemental is right up there as one of my all time favorites!
Thank you, Jean. I hope the new edition finds a comfortable place on your bookshelf, and I’m touched and delighted to know that Elemental is among your favourites 🙂
