While it was disappointing to see so few CBCA members at the public talks, it was heartening to see so many new people at the Hobart session. Thank you to Jenny Dudgeon (Manager, Sustainability Learning Centre) for her hospitality. April 18 sees the announcements of this year’s Notable Books, with the Short List announcement on May 20. CBCA’s Book of the Year Awards are the premier children’s literature awards; being made a notable or short listed is a huge boost to an author/illustrator’s career. One of last year’s short listed authors, debut novelist Tamsin Janu, captivated young audiences at the Tamar Valley Writers Festival. More important dates for your calendar: The Hidden Stories Forum on 7 September and 11 September. More details soon! I will be attending my last CBCA National AGM at the end of this month.

  • Storylines Margaret Mahy Medal Lecture 2020
    Storylines Margaret Mahy Medal Lecture 2020 Presented online 6 September 2020 Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, bula, talofa, fakalofa lahi aut, kia orana, malo e lelei. You might be looking at what I’m wearing and wondering why I’m dressed in Victorian clothes. This outfit came about when the Scholastic team, illustrator Marco Ivancic and I were thinking of ideas for the front cover of a book we were working on. Marco drew a rough of how the main character should stand but it wasn’t quite the posture we were looking for. So, I threw on a long skirt and asked my husband to take a photo of me holding a pen in my hand. Penny Scown from Scholastic had the same idea and did a similar pose, which helped Marco draw the hand from different angles. It gave me the idea to dress like the main character at the book launch. My good friend Mary Kelleher made the outfit and here is Penny Scown and myself at the book launch of… have you guessed it?… Kate Sheppard. The reason I’ve worn it today is to show you the lengths I go to, to make my stories real for children. I’m not the only author who does – you might have seen Fifi Colston or Gareth Ward dressed in their steampunk costumes, and there are others. I write non-fiction books about historical events, famous people, and our wildlife in a creative way. Part of that is bringing it alive, whether it’s dressing the part or getting kids to act it out with me – or using props.

    The Christch~rch Writers' Trail I The Christchurch c 3 mitersy&ai1 Page 1 Introduction 2 Writers Biographies Lady Barker e Canterbury Settlement, right from 1850, was notable for its exalted ideals. The @settlement's early colonists lugged ashore libraries, musical instruments, paints, Samuel Butler William Pember Reeves easels and plans for a grammar school and university. Within the first decade they Edith Grossmann started a newspaper, founded choral and orchestral societies, staged plays and Jessie Mackay started a public library. A surprising number of these pioneers were competent Arnold Wall writers. The published memoirs, letters, journals and poetry left by Charlotte Godley, Blanche Bau han Edward and Crosbie Ward, James FitzGerald, Henry Sewell, Sarah Courage, Laurence Johannes An 8ersen Kennaway, Lady Barker, Samuel Butler and other "pilgrims" established a robust Mary Ursula Bethell literary tradition in Canterbury, particularly in non-fiction and poetry. From the Alan Mulgan 1930s to the early 1950s, during Denis Glover's association with The Caxton Press, Esther Glen Oliver Duff Christchurch was indisputably the focal point of New Zealand's artistic life. The N~aioMarsh town's cultural and literary importance - about 280 writers are listed in this booklet D Arcy Cresswell in a record which is by no means definitive - continues to this day. Monte Holcroft James Courage The Canterbury Branch of the New Zealand Society of Authors has, with generous Allen Curnow assistance from The Community Trust, now laid 32 writers' plaques in various parts Essie Summers of Christchurch. It is hoped that the process begun in 1997 of thus honouring the Denis Glover literary talent of our town and province, will long continue.

  • Keynote Speech - Storylines National Children’S Writers and Illustrators’ Hui, 6 October 2017
    Keynote speech - Storylines National Children’s Writers and Illustrators’ Hui, 6 October 2017 The rise and rise of New Zealand children’s publishing Tessa Duder Once upon a time – about 1978 - a young mother of four was struck in the middle of the night with an idea for a children’s novel. A sailing adventure! A family in peril! Would they survive the night?! This was very odd: she’d never written a word of fiction in her life. Sometime during the four years it took to write the story and get it published, she cut out the cartoon below from the Listener and filed it away. (Elderly man to non-so-young woman at cocktail party: And what are you falling back on to writing children’s books from?) Miraculously, 35 years and about 50 books later, she was able to find it in a musty box file. We may laugh at the sub-text of that remark, but actually ‘falling back onto children’s books’ from success as adult writers has some noble exemplars: Leo Tolstoy, Oscar Wilde, Ian Fleming, A.A. Milne. Our own Janet Frame, Joy Cowley, William Taylor, Kate De Goldi, Graeme Lay, Barbara Else. Though it’s more often the reverse: highly skilled children’s writers ‘falling back’ onto writing for adults: think Mandy Hagar, Gaelyn Gordon, David Hill, Bernard Beckett, Fleur Beale, Roald Dahl, John Marsden, J.K. Rowling. The long path to success of Under the Mountain To consider one such fallen angel of the ‘falling back on to children’s’ variety, let’s recall the New Zealand of 1974.
