SLANZA is fortunate to have secured three New Zealand children’s
authors for a panel discussion after school NEXT THURSDAY, 11 May, 4-5pm, at
Kerikeri High School Library.
I appreciate it
isn’t much notice of the event but it is too good of an opportunity to miss
while they are touring with Storylines National Festival Story Tour. It is a
free event, open to adults and students.
Come along
after school at 3:45pm for afternoon tea followed by the panel talk:
- · Melinda Szymanik recently published Fuzzy Doodle, wonderful picture book about words, stories and writing illustrated by Donovan Bixley, as well as plenty of other titles (Song of the Kauri, Winter’s day in 1939, The Were-Nana etc), and has run workshops about getting published so if you have any questions on that front she would be a good person to talk to.
- · Tim Tipene is the author of Taming the Taniwha, Haere, Jack, Haere, and Warrior Kids books.
- · Diana Menefy is a Northland author, living in Hikurangi, and her latest books are 1915 : Wounds of War and Shadow of the Boyd
SLANZA wishes
to acknowledge Storylines sponsorship to hold this event, and our huge
appreciation of the authors for their time while they spend full days in
schools on their Northland tour.
