Ford Street Publishing are hosting Isobelle Carmody, David Millar and Adam Wallace at the next Keeping Books Alive Seminar.
Avid Reader in Brisbane's West End will be hosting their Customer Christmas Party this Friday night (28th November) from 6-8pm.
This Saturday, 15th November, Isobelle Carmody will be at Oxford Bookstore in Delhi with a number of other contributors to launch Eat the Sky, Drink the Ocean, a new collection of sci-fi and fantasy writing, including six graphic stories.
Some of you would have already seen Isobelle Carmody's post yesterday on her Facebook wall where she answered four writing and publishing questions, but for those of you who haven't:
At this year's Melbourne Writers' Festival the Centre for Youth Literature interviewed a bunch of authors about young adult (YA) writing, including Myke Bartlett, AJ Betts, Isobelle Carmody, Cath Crowley, Ellie Marney, Richard Newsome, Alice Pung, Penny Tangey, Carole Wilkinson, Lili Wilkinson, and Claire Zorn.
Set to be published in October 2014, the anthology Fearsome Magics, edited by Jonathan Strahan and published by Solaris, will contain a new short story from Isobelle Carmody titled Grigori’s Solution.
Isobelle Carmody will be appearing at schools and festivals from August through to November, in Victoria, Brisbane, ACT, NSW and WA - including both the Melbourne and Brisbane Writers' Festivals, the Big Sky Readers and Writers Festival in Geraldton and Conflux 10 in Canberra.
We were only alerted to its presence yesterday, but this interview is a great one - in which Isobelle discusses The Obernewtyn Chronicles, what inspired her to write it in the first place, writing for YA and children in general, and that she is thinking about adapting The Obernewtyn Chronicles into a TV series one day.
Via Herald Sun: "Nossal High School Year 11 student, Bridgette Van Diepen, a finalist in the competition to find the best book covers and book trailers designed by secondary school students, could not believe her eyes."
Today marks the official start of the Obernet Anthology Project!
