15.01.2022 "Whats Patreon? On Patreon, you can let your fans become active participants in the work they love by offering them a monthly membership. You give them access to exclusive content, community, and insight into your creative process. In exchange, you get the freedom to do your best work, and the stability you need to build an independent creative career." - From Patreon's website Cary Lenehan is using Patreon to generate an income stream, and he's going to show you how you can too. This is a workshop primarily for writers, however all kinds of artists are represented on Patreon and this would be a fantastic starting point for anyone!

15.01.2022 Hi everyone! We've been contacted by a lovely lady in Rio who loves to travel but of course hasn't been able to due to covid. She was wondering if we could recommend some books set in Hobart, so I thought we should turn to our community. What are your favourite books set in Hobart?

08.01.2022 We are currently transferring our website hosting. Please be patient if you experience any issues with it over the next couple of days. If you want to book an event, it might be a good idea to send us an email or give us a call to make sure your booking is recorded. We're sorry for any inconveniences, but it should all be sorted out soon. After that we'll be giving the site a thorough overhaul, so you may still experience a few little hiccoughs for a little while. We can't wait for the new site though. We hope you'll like the results.

07.01.2022 FABULOUS STUFF FOR KIDS (AND PARENTS, AND TEACHERS) The wonderful writer and illustrator Coral Tulloch has been posting some really fun and educational stuff for kids on her facebook page recently. Of it, she wrote: "Many years ago I used to have a syndicated childrens page that ran in newspapers throughout Australia and Internationally. I would take a theme each week and weave information, activities and games around this.... "With the lockdown of COVID 19, like many of us, as authors and illustrators, I wanted to be able to do something, but didnt know what I could do. The I thought of all the material from the childrens pages. Since March 20th I have been posting up a page a day, Monday to Friday on my art page in Facebook. "You can scroll back and choose any of the material, drag it to your desktop and print off. I hope that it may be of some use to some of you." It looks fantastic. Go and check it out and have fun. https://www.facebook.com/cloudyseas
