It has been a huge month, with so many wonderful highlights, check out the gallery below.
Running a masterclass on preparing your manuscript for publication with SCBWI ACT. Such a joyous day with so much talent in the room, exiting futures ahead!!
Speaking at the Australian School Library Association (ASLA) conference about interacting with Picture Books. If ever there was a wonderful crowd to talk with about books… Love TL’s!!!!
Catching up with old friends in Lindfield. (they’re not old, I’ve just known them for a long time 😉 )
Seeing giant sized Easter bunnies on the South Coast. They left giant sized (unwrapped) eggs too – everywhere!!
Attending the launch of the Geocon Aspen sales suit with hubby. A very grown up night 🙂
Going to the launch of This is Home collated by Jackie French and illustrated by Tania McCartney. Two such incredibly talented ladies and a book full of Australia’s most powerful poetry to share with kids. And Hip Hip Hooray, written by Tania and illustrated by Jess Racklyeft, the prettiest launch I’ve ever seen! And the children had such a wonderful time with party blowers, pass the parcel and delectable cup cakes!
Signing a giant stack of books for the Dymocks Children’s Charity. The guys at Dymocks Children’s charity do such amazing work to reach children who don’t have access to books, it is wonderful to support their efforts.
Attending the annual Dymocks Great Debate charity gala. What a night! So many laughs, so much great chat, and I came away having bid on and won 10 nights around OZ in a motorhome!!!
Speaking at the CBCA High Tea with the stars event at Penguin Random House HQ. This event was EPIC, so many great talented authors in one room – and one crazy police officer chasing a Baddie!! (oh that was me!)
and, Running a school holiday workshop with these 20 whizz kids at the Children’s Bookshop Beecroft. The bobby was at it again. We had such a joyous morning creating baddies, drawing wanted posters, writing picture books and chasing clues.
