Following Hobart-based Fullers Bookshop’s win of the prestigious Independent Bookshop of the Year Award in March this year, manager of Fullers, Catherine Schulz, won the Australian Booksellers Association (ABA) Bookseller of the Year Award at the national ABA conference gala dinner last Sunday night.

Catherine began working at Fullers in 1990 and has been instrumental in turning it into one of the nation’s leading bookshops. She has been active in supporting her industry, from the smallest of Tasmanian micropublishers through to the industry bodies that formulate policy and programming for Australian independent booksellers. One recommendation from Catherine can create a local bestseller.

From a shortlist of six of the nation’s best booksellers from bookshops in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, representatives from the ABA chose Schulz for the award. Colleague Tim Jarvis, a relative newcomer to the Fullers team, was shortlisted for the Young Bookseller of the Year Award.
