In March 2013, I founded The Children’s Book Council of Australia (NSW) Newcastle Sub-branch. Our sub-branch aims to bring together Newcastle authors, illustrators, bookstore owners, librarians and book lovers to celebrate, educate, support and inspire each other. If you are interested in joining us, please visit our Newcastle Sub-branch page at www.cbcansw.org.au/newcastle-sub-branch. If you would like more information about the The Children’s Book Council (NSW), you can visit www.cbcansw.org.au/.
