More on Connecting with Authors
Simmone Howell, she of the award-winning Notes from the Teenage Underground, has been in touch to alert us to some Australian YA author blogs. Just what we wanted to hear. Simmone suggests we look at:
- Kirsty Murray (Magic Casements)
- Penni Russon (Eglantine’s Cake)
- Lili Wilkinson (Thinkings of a Lili)
- James Roy (headvsdesk)
- Catherine Bateson (CattyRox)
- Adam Ford (self-described poet, novelist, zinemaker, artist, editor, showoff)
- Sherryl Clark (Books and Writing)
- and of course, her own blog, post-teen trauma.
In the hunting, we came across Gabrielle Wang’s A Passing Whisper, Carole Wilkinson’s self-named blog, Scot Gardner’s Jingo Lingo, Nicki Greenberg’s There’s a bug in my inkbottle and Margo Lanagan’s Among Amid While. And Simon Haynes has a Hal Spacejock blog for the many fans of that popular series.
So they are out there - please keep the suggestions coming and we will build up a pretty useful list. Thanks again, Simmone.
