May Gibbs Fellowship May 2011
Wednesday 18th



Top Two Pics: Last night I attended a meeting of the Adelaide SCBWI group. The session was chaired by Barbara James and our guest speaker was Val Van Patten who has been involved with the CBCA for the past 20 years. Val presented a talk on how the books submitted to the CBCA are judged each year. It was a fascinating insight into what goes on in the judging of these prestigious awards, and if there is one thing I came away with is that publishers should be urged not to save up their books and send them en masse in the last two months of judging. Was nice to catch up with Katrina Germain, My Dad Thinks He’s Funny author and meet Nikki Wakefield of All I Ever Wanted.

Third Pic: Had a lovely lunch at Mary Martin’s Bookshop in Norwood today with kid’s lit guru, Fran Knight, and May Gibbs contact (among many other things) Alle Goldsworthy and talked all things books. Hey, what is that product placement in the background… Burke and Wills? Nice one Fran.

    Sounds like a great couple of events KT – look forward to hearing more about them. And yes, did notice Bourke and Wills – noice!

    Fantastic Kt and the insight into the judging process is a real plus. Agree that publishers should submit books as they are published.
