24.01.2022 Nice work Bethany Macdonald. Bethany was invited to do the cover art for the latest CBCA edition of Kids’ Corner, a digital magazine for kids about reading and all the latest book news. This cover art offers a glimpse of Bethany’s new book Where Hope Lives Now, released mid year 2021 @booktrailpress . Congrats! @cbcaustralia @cbcansw @thefictive #paulsbooktrail2020 @bethanymacdonaldartist @paulmacsculpture #thechildrensbookshopspeakersagency #collage

24.01.2022 Paul’s Book Trail 2020 No 208 My weekend reading is set. Shuggie Bain, by Scottish debut author Douglas Stuart, has just won the 2020 Booker Prize. It is gutsy and raw and beautifully written. I’m looking forward to falling even more deeply into this novel. And keep in mind that it was rejected by 30 editors before finally being picked up by a publisher. I am very excited by this one! @picadorbooks @thefictive @bethanymacdonaldartist @paulmacsculpture @thebookerprizes ‘It is... 1981. Glasgow is dying and good families must grift to survive. Agnes Bain has always expected more from life. She dreams of greater things: a house with its own front door and a life bought and paid for outright (like her perfect, but false, teeth). But Agnes is abandoned by her philandering husband, and soon she and her three children find themselves trapped in a decimated mining town. As she descends deeper into drink, the children try their best to save her, yet one by one they must abandon her to save themselves. It is her son Shuggie who holds out hope the longest.’ See more

17.01.2022 Beth and I are very excited about new picturebooks coming out in 2021 as part of our imprint Book Trail Press. The first book for @booktrailpress was the CBCA Notable The Hole Idea by Beth and Paul Macdonald and Nathaniel Eckstrom. In 2021 we will be publishing two gorgeous picturebooks, written and illustrated by some talented creators including Ursula Dubosarsky, Tohby Riddle and Bethany Macdonald. Details are to follow but Book Trail Press’s next picturebook is due for release in March. And we are currently looking at manuscripts for 2022 publication. Book Trail Press picturebooks celebrate the creative process and the power of the imagination. Distributed by Peribo Books. Fingers crossed. We are excited! @ursuladubosarsky @tohbyriddle @bethanymacdonaldartist @paulmacsculpture #thechildrensbookshopspeakersagency @thechildrensbookshop

06.01.2022 Paul’s Book Trail220 No. 204 I love biographies and Searching for Charlotte is one to watch. This is the story of Charlotte Atkinson, Australia’s first children’s author and also the great great great great grandmother of acclaimed contemporary authors Kate Forsyth and Belinda Murrell. Written with passion and a sense of wonder, Forsyth and Murrell share the narrative - and ultimately offer an intimate tale of family, history, gender and the writing process. And the book desi...gn is beautiful! If secondary schools are looking for writers to discuss life-writing, contact Beth at [email protected] Kate and Belinda are talented writers. ‘For almost 140 years, the author of Australia's first book for children was a mystery. Known only by the descriptor 'a Lady Long Resident in New South Wales', she was the subject of much speculation. It was not until 1980, after a decade of sleuthing, that legendary bibliographer Marcie Muir gave her a name: Charlotte Waring Atkinson. And not only a name, but an extensive creative family history, connecting her to two of the nation's celebrated contemporary children's writers, Kate Forsyth and Belinda Murrell. To Forsyth and Murrell, Atkinson (also known as Barton) is great-great-great-great grandmother and the subject of the stories they grew up on-part of a thread of creative women that runs through the history of their family. Hers is one of the great lost stories of Australian history: a tale of love, grief, violence and triumph in the face of overwhelming odds.’ #paulsbooktrail2020 @thefictive @nationallibraryaus @belinda_murrell @paulmacsculpture #kateforsyth See more
