NO WORDS by @Maryam_Master, cover designed by Astred Hicks, has won the Best Designed Children’s Fiction Cover Award at this year's Australian Book Design Awards! Our congratulations to Astred, who also designed the cover for Exit Through the Gift Shop by Maryam Master.
I’ve got until 2pm to finish all my work, finish writing high school applications and get a couple of books off to press. So I can then pick up the kid, pack multiple suitcases and turn my out of office on. Sure, I can do that? Oh yeah and throw in procrastinating twitter time ..
Sooooo there is no @AustralianLabor candidate for Bankstown in the NSW election, now? Wow. What a cluster fluff. You’re going to lose one of the safest seats 🤦🏼♀️ I just can’t.
Just shrieked and frightened my family while watching the @TheCBCA children’s book of the year notable announcement. Neridah and I nominated for Evie and Rhino!!
Holy bananas! @WalkerBooksAus
Victory lap around the lounge room 🏅
I almost missed school pick up today because I was too engrossed in plotting out my new writing project
Huzzah! A got a square on my author bingo card!
What else is on the author bingo card?
Just discovered my electorate catchment has changed. Researching my current state representative, found they defected to One Nation from the labor party this year. Yuck. I look forward to help voting them out.
Had the BEST time celebrating the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards today. We were sat with the other children’s and YA book creators and it was joyous. Such a wonderful group, I LOVE the Australian Kids Lit community! #loveozmg #loveozya #PMLitAwards

Liz has been reading Evie and Rhino by @nerimac, illustrated by @astred. When Evie finds a rhino washed up on a beach, it's the start of a magical friendship. But when a zookeeper wants to take the rhino away, Evie's inner strength is revealed.

ALT Evie and Rhino on an orange and pink wave-patterned background. Cover features the title surrounded by a wreath of flowers with a blonde girl incorporated into the wreath on one sie and a rhino on the other. Between them is a ship sinking in a stormy grey sea.

Really enjoying A Guide to the Creatures in your Neighbourhood by @UrbanFieldNats I would also like a RISO print of all @Zoe_Sadokierski ‘s animal illustrations
The only reason to have an older sister is so you can send each other stupid TikTok’s to laugh about. And the only reason to have a kid is so they can also view same TikTok’s and share your dumb humour. dumb humour genetics? my husband doesn’t get it.
Ha-ha suck it Richard Ayoade! Number 2! (And 6?) BEST SELLER! 🦜🎉🥳@BetterReadKids Swifty @CSIROPublishing
Huzzah! I spent the morning painting the Readings Kids window! It was so much fun and I chatted to many lovely people walking by. Thank you @ReadingsBooks kids team (esp @pilgrim_hodgson ❤️❤️❤️)
Wow I had no comprehension of how hard the promo trail is.
I am dead tired and the promo month isn't over yet. But I still have to work, make nice things, be a parent, earn money instead of staring at the wall for a few days to recover.
How do other book people cope with promo?
