On the road again
May 21, 2008
For the second time this month, the Fiction Focus team is heading off to Melbourne. It seems no time since we returned from All the Wild Wonders, the CBCA conference. On Friday we will be taking part in the Novel Ideas seminar organised by the wonderful Centre for Youth Literature at the State Library of Victoria.
Our brief is to talk about some of the best new titles for Years 7 and 8. We will be sharing our ideas with about 150 teachers and teacher-librarians, and if that isn’t nerve-wracking enough, other speakers (each with their own topic, fortunately) include Morris Gleitzman, Maria Boyd and Dr Susan La Marca and Pam Macintyre of Viewpoint magazine. Mike Shuttleworth (CYL Program Coordinator) and Lili Wilkinson (manager of the inside a dog website) are also presenting.
We’re a bit worried that we are going to ‘do an Ishmael‘ and faint as soon as we stand up to speak. We’ll let you know how it goes.
