24.01.2022 ‘We need more Indigenous voices and more voices of other diverse peoples speaking to our own hopes, dreams and realities. It is these connections through story that will lay the basis for other connections and so change the world.’ Ambelin Kwaymullina is an Aboriginal writer and illustrator who comes from the Palyku people of the Pilbara region of Western Australia. She co-edited Meet Me At the Intersection with Rebecca Lim. https://buff.ly/3hy9Dmt Artwork background from Women of the Earth 1989 Sally Morgan, screen-print, printed in coloured inks from multiple stencils; printed image 40.6 (h) x 50.6 (w) cm; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, Gordon Darling Australasian Print Fund 1990.

17.01.2022 We already knew she was amazing, and now more Australians can get to know Helen Milroy. The author of Wombat, Mudlark and Other Stories, Backyard Birds and the soon-to-be-released Backyard Bugs has been named WA’s Australian of the Year. Before she became a children’s book author and illustrator, Professor Helen Milroy was Australia's first Indigenous doctor and a highly regarded expert in child and adolescent psychiatry who pioneered research, education and training in Abori...ginal and child mental health, as well as recovery from grief and trauma. Helen’s first book, Wombat, Mudlark and Other Stories, was informed by her work in the field. The book celebrates emotional intelligence and encourages young people to feel proud of their imagination, their energy, their optimism, their family connections, their thirst for knowledge, their bravery and their ability to make us laugh. @AustralianoftheYear https://buff.ly/38WWqBI

12.01.2022 Congratulations to Nandi Chinna on being shortlisted for a Prime Minister's Literary Award for her collection of poems The Future Keepers. Chinna said she was happy and excited that her book had been chosen for the shortlist. She said, ‘I'm quietly grateful and pleased that the judges thought my book worthy of this acknowledgement. The Future Keepers invites readers to pay attention to the other species and ecosystems that we share our lives and places with. There is im...mense solace and understanding to be found in the lives and voices of the diverse species that inhabit our local places alongside us, below and above us. There is also a vast amount of grief around in the community at the loss of this diversity due to unfettered land clearing and climate change.’ Read more about Nandi's collection on the Fremantle Press website. https://buff.ly/3ptcy45

07.01.2022 ‘The biggest motivating factor for me in writing is simply that I like to tell stories. Everyone has a story to tell. Having a huge diversity of stories to listen to, read out loud and look at in pictures helps to break down the barriers between people and enriches the world.’ Sally Morgan is an award-winning Aboriginal writer and artist who comes from the Palyku people of the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Her latest book with Fremantle Press is My Place for Younger Readers. https://buff.ly/3dnTZqo Artwork background from Women of the Earth 1989 Sally Morgan, screen-print, printed in coloured inks from multiple stencils; printed image 40.6 (h) x 50.6 (w) cm; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, Gordon Darling Australasian Print Fund 1990.
