Amazing book.
WINNER: Best Anthology is THIS ALL COME BACK NOW edited by Mykaela Saunders (University of Queensland Press) #AurealisAwards
I'm excited too. The books are going to be great.
That moment when you share some of the story in your upcoming children’s picture book with the big kids and they get it! I’m so excited to see the joy this story (and relating science) will bring! @DubLeffler @CathieTasker #seaweed #algae #watersafety #childrensbook #amwriting
Thanks Lisa. Looking forward to the next steps.

Can't stop smiling after an afternoon of planning, not 1 but 2 new books. With @DubLeffler @RhubarbSwoon and the amazing @CathieTasker
AND note the two fantastic fellas on the right... they are the most amazing men, seldom acknowledged properly, quietly making things happen!

Alert aspiring picture book creators! Online 5 wk course includes language, essence of a picture book, and the publishing industry with @CathieTasker who knows the scene. Starts 16 May, so hurry! writerscentre.com.au/store/c…
Take a book business tip from me.
Creators have 3 income streams…
Two are obvious — book sales, and being paid to speak.
What’s the third? — Profile. Profile builds your sales, and it’s the spur for all those borrowings — so PLR, DLR and ELR.
