  • 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.

It also provides a bibliographic description and quantitative analysis of Malaysian award winning children and young adults’ literature by describing frequency of book awards and writing competition, prizes and organisations involved, genres, winning authors and categories by children and young adults. This study uses a mixed approach of historical research and bibliographic study. Historical method is used to study the contents of sources, both primary and secondary such as journal articles from Dewan Sastera, Dewan Siswa, books, newspaper reports and printed programmes in order to put into chronology the events that lead up to the organisation and development of children and young adults’ literary prizes in Malaysia. Subsequently, descriptive statistics is used to describe the frequency of awards, genres, organisations involved, categories, years of awards, prizes value and the winning authors and their works. In the early years, writing competitions were mostly organised by DBP, a government agency; in this era, the private sector had overtaken the government in organising and sponsoring literary prizes.

  • 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.

  • Story and Serendipity Betty Gilderdale Award Spring Lecture by Lorraine Orman, 2020 Winner of the Storylines Betty Gilderdale Award
    Story and Serendipity Betty Gilderdale Award Spring Lecture By Lorraine Orman, 2020 winner of the Storylines Betty Gilderdale Award Tena koutou. Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for coming to this extra-special Storylines event and listening to my speech, which is entitled Story and Serendipity. My gratitude goes out to Storylines for deciding to give me the 2020 Storylines Betty Gilderdale Award. And much love and gratitude goes to my husband Jim who has put up with me and my world of children’s books for nearly 50 years. A shout-out goes to our Auckland son and two of the grandsons, who keep me in touch with the real world of New Zealand families. My best wishes must also go to Betty herself. Having read her memoir A Life in Two Halves, I am in awe of all that she achieved. But my most important felicitations go out to everyone here who is celebrating Storylines’ twentieth anniversary. That’s 20 years of achievement, fellowship and hard work. Congratulations to all of us. A few days before I started making notes for this speech, a neighbour called Annette contacted me. Very soon Annette and I were chatting over a cup of tea. Her seven- year-old grandson isn’t getting on very well in his big open-plan classroom – too much movement, noise and distraction. He’s lost interest in reading. Annette wanted to know how to help him. Initially I was nervous about advising her. Since we retreated to a retirement village in Christchurch two years ago, my contact with children’s books has been patchy.
