Thursday 19 November 1.15 p.m. Wednesday 25th November 7.30 p.m.
The Centre is delighted to welcome Elizabeth Fensham to Scotland.
Elizabeth is an Australian writer and school teacher. She grew up in Sydney and now lives in Victoria's Dandenong Ranges. Her first novel, Helicopter Man, won the Australian Children's Book Council's Book of the Year for Younger Readers in 2006. Miss McAllister's Ghost achieved a CBCA Notable Award in 2009. Her third novel, Goodbye Jamie Boyd, which deals with the sensitive issue of a teenager's schizophrenia, was shortlisted for the Bologna Book Fair's White Raven Award in 2009.
She will give two presentations at the Centre, the first, a lunchtime talk, is on Thursday 19th November at 1.15 (please bring a packed lunch!). The second is an evening talk, on Wednesday November 25th at 7.30 p.m.
Elizabeth will talk about the process of writing novels for children, especially dealing with the difficult themes she tackles, such as schizophrenia, love and jealousy, and ageing. |
