My #LoveOzYA novel NEVERLAND is out now!

NEVERLAND cover

Show some Insta love: @project_lectito

Preparing for #CBCABookWeek2018! I’m Writer in Residence at Wilderness School Mon-Thurs: 4 days, 19 classes, 401 students, and few hours each day to work on my next manuscript. It’s gonna be a big, action packed week. Can’t wait! 📚🤓📝 #LoveOzYA . . . . . #writinglife #bookweek #authoring #flatlay #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #yafiction #yalit #yaliterature #YAauthor #amwritingYA #amwriting #writingcommunity #yabooks #aussiereaders #beginendbegin #anneofgreengables #neverland #writingworkshops #authortalk #aussieauthors #igwriters
Ms F received some *very* special #bookmail today! She’s one lucky lady to have an early copy of Fairytales for Feisty Girls on her shelf. Thank you, @dbinks!! 😘😘You’re a true fairy godmother 🧚‍♀️ Can’t wait to share these tales of feisty fems with her. ✨ This gorgeous collection features five classic fairytales retold by Susannah McFarlane, each beautifully illustrated by a different artist (swipe to the end for a sneaky peek at Sher Rill Ng’s Thumbelina) . . . . . #aussiereaders #fairytales #fairytaleretelling #feministfairytales #fairytalesforfeistygirls #bookstagram #bookcommunity #readersofinstagram #childrensbooks #childrensbookillustration #igbooks #igreads #readmore #storytime #storytelling #bookworm #babybookworm
Office.
(Slightly belated) congrats to @vikkiwakefield on Ballad for a Mad Girl’s YA win in the #sistersincrimeau #DavittAwards!! 🎉🎉🎉 If you haven’t read this one yet, it’s creepy and suspenseful and should be top of your TBR. #LoveOzYA . . . . . #Aussiereaders #bookcommunity #balladforamadgirl #vikkiwakefield #booklove #YAfiction #YAlit #youngadultbooks #YAbooklove #readmore #readmoreya #aussieauthors #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookberdigans #readersofinstagram #shelfie #bookworm #YAbookworm
Happy #LoveYourBookshopDay! Frankie and I stopped by our local, @dymocksglenelg, this afternoon to pick out some new reads. She got How to Catch a Star by Oliver Jeffers (which has GORGEOUS illustrations) and I picked up a copy of #EggshellSkull by @bri.e.lee, which has been on my TBR list for a good long while 😁📚🙌 . . . . . . #aussiereaders #readmore #booklove #bookshop #readersofinstagram #bookish #bookstagram #bookphoto #bookhaul #newbooks #bibliophile #bookworms #booknerdigans #readingisfun #bookblogger #bookcommunity #igbooks #igreads #bookwormlife
Five years ago yesterday I bought a new notebook at @zettaflorence on Brunswick Street and took myself off to a nearby cafe to make the first notes for the manuscript that would eventually become #Neverland. Over the next few weeks, I scribbled, drew, researched and Pinterested my way onto Learmonth Island and started getting to know its inhabitants. And I Instagrammed the process. Because of course I did. This nostalgia trip is brought to you from 2013 by Valencia filter. ⛵️⚓️🧜‍♀️✨💙 #loveozya #shamelesshipster . . . . . . #aussieauthors #aussiereaders #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #amwriting #moodling #youngadultfiction #YAlit #YAfiction #writinglife #authoring #novelling #wip #workinprogess #novelwriting #writerscommunity #bookcommunity
Shout out to some of my fave #LoveOzYA titles of 2018 so far! 📚Small Spaces by @sarahepsteinbooks had me sleeping with the lights on—deliciously creepy stuff 📚 Amelia Westlake by Erin Gough is funny and clever and had me doing big feminist fist pumps (highly recommend for fans of Take Three Girls) 📚White Night by @elliemarney ventures deep into the heart of a rural cult and had me gripped the whole way through 📚The Centre of My Everything by @allaynewebster is a harrowing yet hopeful story of small town Australia 📚 The Art of Taxidermy by @sharonkernot is something a little bit different: a beautiful story of grief, love and family told in verse 📚Tin Heart by @shivaunplozza made me laugh and cry (and cry some more) and is full of wonderful characters 📚After the Lights Go Out by @lililiwilkinson is my current read and I’m struggling to put it down. It’s full of suspense from page one. 📚I am out with Lanterns by @emilygalebooksetc is full of incredible characters and the story is beautifully layered. 📚The Last Day’s of Us by @becknicholas is a road trip novel and a love story that broke my heart in the best possible way. What are your fave recent #LoveOzYA reads? . . . . #aussiereaders #bookstagram #booklove #bookspines #smallspaces #ameliawestlake #whitenight #thecentreofmyeverything #theartoftaxidermy #tinheart #afterthelightsgoout #iamoutwithlanterns #thelastdaysofus #readmore #readmoreya #youngadult #YAlit #YAfiction #youngadultbooks #readersofinstagram #bookworm #booknerdigans #bookogger #aussieauthors
It’s been four months today since #Neverland was released into the wild, and to mark the occasion, I’ve put together a BIG blog post about the things I wish I’d known before before my book baby launched. There are some practical tips, but also some real talk about the emotional side of publication because our books are our horcruxes and—while it’s wonderful to have them out in the world—it can be oh-so-hard to let them go. Fellow debuts and emerging writers, this one’s for you 😘 🔗Link in bio🔗 . . . . . . . #writinglife #aussieauthors #LoveOzYA #aussiereaders #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #bookblog #writingblog #bookstagram #writingtips #amwriting #novelling #authorlife #bookcover #bookcoverlove #writingYA #youngadultbooks #yalit #YAfiction #writingrealtalk #authorsofig #writersofig #gettingpublished #bookphoto #keepwriting #authoring
