Congratulations to the @IndigenousLF for winning the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award! This is an amazing achievement and so well deserved. ❤️


Hi #kidlit writers. Does anyone know the 2024 dates for @kidlitvic ? Planning some things for next year and don’t want to double-book. #auswrites #ozkidlit #writersoftwitter TIA.


#auswrites Christmas music, esp Pentatonix, Christmas carols and Handel's Messiah, wrapping presents, Miracle on 34th Street and hunting down favourite Christmas recipes. 🎄🎄🎄


#auswrites - Late to the party, but this article is unsurprising, but still confronting. Don't give up your day job. shorturl.at/alKQ2


Best writerly thing - connecting with @SharonDalgleish as my writing buddy! Best time ever dissecting sentences and sharing 'aha' moments. :) #auswrites


Do your best. Be kind. Laugh lots. Keep things in perspective. (Aka Always look on the bright side of life - Monty Python.)

Oh dear…. I’m still working on one that I started 25 years ago! Seriously!

I fangirl over way too many to list, but would start with Kate DiCamillo, Astrid Lindgren, Ann Patchett, Helen Garner … didn’t expect them to be all women, but there you go…


True! When creativity is shoe-horned into a narrow set of criteria, teachers are frustrated, students are bored and eventually readers suffer. #auswrites #naplan #standardisedtesting smh.com.au/education/the-…


Had a rejection this morning. A polite form letter, with no specific feedback. Grateful that I didn’t have to wait long, but my head is still reverberating with a silent scream of ‘whhhhhyyyyyyy???’


Hello again, #auswrites! I'm very likely to pick up a book based on a gorgeous cover, but less likely to buy it. (Bad past experience...) However, I will buy a book with a dodgy cover if it's been recommended, or if it's received glowing reviews or if it's by a favourite author.


Happy 50th, #furiousfiction. I joined in the celebrations, and just submitted my entry. Congrats to @WritersCentreAU for always providing such challenging prompts.
