Writers talking about writing
What do Tohby Riddle, Randa Abdel-Fattah, James Roy and Mark McLeod have in common? Not to mention Garth Nix, Isobelle Carmody, David Hill, Mal Peet (there goes the Aussie authors theory), Tristan Bancks, Morris Gleitzman, Danny Katz and Mitch Vane. (All but David Hill write/illustrate for YA and younger, although even his book is of relevance to teenage readers).
It was James Roy, on his blog head vs desk, who alerted us to the good news that Writers Talk 2009 is up and running. The first four authors are already on the site; the others will be added in coming weeks.
This terrific resource, an initiative of the Centre for Learning and Innovation in the NSW DET, is a spinoff from the forthcoming 2009 Sydney Writers Festival. Each author video is supported by additional resources including a bibliography and teaching notes.
And if you want more, WT 2008 and WT 2007 are also still online and well worth investigating.
