CMIS Evaluation Fiction Focus

Having just commented on Laurie Halse Anderson’s ALAN award yesterday, news has come through of a cool competiton she is running - and yes, Australians can enter.

In February, in the very early days of this blog, we ran a post on hooking kids into books and talked about book trailers (check out the tag cloud to access it). Now Laurie is running a book trailer competition for her book Speak or her newest title Twisted, which became available here on 1 June. Both titles deal with fairly meaty issues so are are best suited to mature readers.

Full details of the competition are on Laurie’s blog. Don’t be put off by the North American emphasis in the details - we’ve been in touch with Laurie and she’s be thrilled to receive entries from Australia or indeed anywhere else. Sounds like fun, so let your creative readers know. With school holidays just around the corner for most states, the timing is perfect.

Entries close on 31 August.
