An incredible experience that 10yo me would never

An incredible experience that 10yo me would never believe ~ Judy Blume! Live! 💥 Despite her beaming in to the Sydney Writers' Festival from Florida, it felt much more 'real' and intimate than I expected, like we were really there with Judy. An all-time favourite author and I still have most of the books. Each was read a gajillion times. At least! The edges aren't even yellow now, they're kind of brown. Anyway, I can remember as a kid finding out that Judy Blume was a middle-aged woman and I just couldn't believe it. But how does she sound *just* like a kid in her stories? I thought. How does she remember exactly what growing up feels like? How does she know what I'm thinking?!! I guess this was my first introduction to voice. It was a thrill to hear from an author idol on everything from being banned to her start in writing (where it was an isolated pursuit, no writers' groups or organisations. A writing course and supportive teacher kicked things off for her), to insights into her books, like Sally J. Freedman is her most autobiographical character. Thank you @sydwritersfest for a dream come true!! 🌟💜🤸‍♂️ @gemmadotpatience

My brother Pat was lucky enough to pop over, Covid

My brother Pat was lucky enough to pop over, Covid bubble style, from NZ ~ which meant lots of Sydney SE Asian faves and lesser-found things at home. Like his beloved Marrickville Vietnamese, and bowls of khao soi so we could pretend we were in Chiang Mai instead. 🍜🍜🍜

Excited to be part of the upcoming Story Scoop ser

Excited to be part of the upcoming Story Scoop series by @cbcansw and @scbwianz (and in great company too!). I'll be sharing a sneak peek at my picture book WALKING YOUR HUMAN and sharing a few writerly tips too. This has been a great resource for schools, libraries etc. showcasing kids' book creators and the stories behind the stories. Have also been loving the super cute graphics by @gemmadotpatience for each episode! ✳️🌼🌻

Join us on Saturday May 1st at 12 noon AEST for the tenth (and final!) episode of Story Scoop! We've had so much fun collaborating with SCBWI Australia East & New Zealand, showcasing the works of talented authors & illustrators! Watch it live with us on the CBCA NSW Facebook page.

Each month authors and illustrators have given us a sneak peek into their inspiration, creative choices, artwork and the story behind their stories. This month, Dub Leffler shares some Middle Grade Magic, Gina Newton & Tiffanee Daley welcomes us to Picture Book Nook, and Liz Ledden gives us a Sneak Peek of her work!

You can find every episode on our website (link in bio).

Special thank you to Gemma Patience for the beautiful illustrations for all of Story Scoop, and Deborah Abela for all her hard work on this project, alongside the CBCA NSW Branch and SCBWI ANZ committees!

It was so much fun being part of a CBCA Eastern Su

It was so much fun being part of a CBCA Eastern Suburbs event last night! 🐶 We heard more about the upcoming CBCA anthology, packed full of kids stories, poems, plays and illustrations (yay, there'll be a piece by team One More Page included!), plus presentations on some new release books ~ @susanne_gervay on her stunning historical middle grade HEROES OF THE SECRET UNDERGROUND, @bestulic_sonia on her self-care book FLOURISH FOR MUMS (with great insights from her perspective as a speech pathologist), plus I spoke about my picture book with @gabriellapetrusoart WALKING YOUR HUMAN (full of advice of a different doggish kind). 🐾 Delicious dumplings, book chat and some welcoming new faces from the CBCA sub branch too. A really lovely night! (Thanks to @gemmadotpatience for preso pic). 🥟💚🌟
