The Break tour and 2014

December 12, 2014 By Deb

It’s been a crazy year, with the release of my new book, The Break, a tour of the Eastern States of Australia, a US deal for The Amazing Spencer Gray, and a film option purchased for Spencer Gray  too. I also secured the services of Clive Newman, literary agent, this year.

I have a few more writing events on this year, before I collapse in a happy heap with my family and friends over Christmas.

I’m excited to be teaching a course for the Australian Writers’ Centre on October 18–19: Writing for Children and Young Adults. It’s going to be two days of discussion and learning about children’s writing and publishing, with plenty of time for actual writing.

I’m also thrilled to be spending an evening at Nedlands Library on 22 October 2014, from 6.30 to 7.30, to talk about The Break.

I was delighted to visit Tea House Books in Denmark with Brooke Davis, of Lost & Found fame, in November.

I’m sure I’ll squeeze in a few more things between those, but in a way I just want to hide and write. And isn’t that what we all want to do?

2014

You may know how much I love visiting schools and libraries, particularly in the regions. Well  you can imagine how much I enjoyed visiting these places in 2014:

• Tambellup and Broomehill (WA) primary school visits, 14–15 August 2014

• Children’s Book Week library visits to South Perth Library, Victoria Park Library and Maylands Library (WA), 18–21 August 2014

• Eastern States Book Tour, taking in Melbourne, Wangaratta, Canberra, Woonona, Wollongong, Leonay, Sydney, Bathurst, 21–30 August 2014.

Happy reading and writing, everyone. Hope to see you out there!
