Blogger in Residence for WestWords

Sunday 10 October 2021


Hey, kids!

I'm so happy to be the blogger-in-residence for the Clubhouse at WestWords this month. Have you heard of the site? It's totally fabulous, it really is.

Based in Parramatta, WestWords is dedicated to celebrating and championing the stories of the people, places and cultures that comprise the heart of Western Sydney. WestWords believe in the power of literature and literacy (written, oral and visual), self-expression and creativity - and its ability to change lives and the experience of communities. With a focus on children and young people its work includes a comprehensive program of workshops, residencies, fellowships and support for writers.

I've already uploaded three posts already, and I'll be adding over a dozen more these coming weeks, with the final post scheduled for 4 November. Kids - there'll be tips, tricks, behind-the-scenes stuff, a studio tour, how to illustrate with Procreate, fleshing out your characters, using synonyms - ALL SORTS of fab stuff to get your creative juices flowing.

You can check out the Clubhouse right here. There's an amazing line-up of past authors and illustrators your kids can enjoy, too. And for parents and carers - if you're homeschooling, this fabulous site may be a dream spot for you.

See you there!
