Illumine Grammar Women—Anna McGahan (2005)
•
Brisbane Girls Grammar School
Few of us can say that, in our lifetime, we have fulfilled a dream we have harboured since we were seven years old. One lucky person who can make that claim is celebrated writer and Brisbane Girls Grammar School alumna, Anna McGahan (2005).
Earlier this year, Anna was awarded one of Australia’s most prestigious literary awards for young writers, The Vogel Prize, which was won by her uncle, Andrew McGahan, in 1991.
In this conversation with Principal, Ms Jacinda Euler Welsh, Anna reflects on the challenges, victories, and unexpected detours that have characterised her journey and career so far.
