I'm in Colorado as faculty at an #scbwi children's book writing conference! I led an intensive workshop on What I Learned from Nancy Drew: Tools for Fast-paced Plotting, and did a fast-paced pitch review session. I got a lot of compliments on both. It's a really well-run conference with super nice people.

Standing room only last night at launch of Justin Davies's #middleGrade adventure #HAARVILLE (Floris Books). So interesting to hear where the concept for this spooky, foggy seaside story came from. Coming to the #US this summer! The publisher and @TheEdinburghBookshop did a beautiful job hosting the event & I got to catch up with so many #kidlit pals.

Hi everyone! I’ve just started on Mastodon, so time for an #introduction.

I’m a children’s writer and illustrator based in Walyaluo / Freo, Western Australia.

I make #PictureBooks, #ChapterBooks and #comics / #GraphicNovels.

I’ve worked with Fremantle Press, Walker, Penguin, Allen & Unwin and Scholastic.

My latest book is called Stellarphant ⭐️🐘🚀, published by Fremantle Press in Australia (it’s also available in Turkey and North America).

I work digitally using #Photoshop and #Procreate .

I’m a member of #SCBWI , the Australian Society of Authors, and the Children’s Book Council of Australia.

I’m a husband to @RenaeHayward ; we have two cheeky, gorgeous young kids, plus a labrador called Frankie who sheds a cubic ton of fur every three hours.

I come from a long line of queuing enthusiasts.

I've been cutting my own hair since the you-know-what started. But today, ahead of the National Book Awards next week, I treated myself to my first professional cut in ages!

More #introduction info: I'm a former #technology #journalist from #massachusetts now in #Scotland after years in #Ireland. Keen on #tech #ethics (especially as it affects #children). Also #kidlit #scbwi #scifi #socialjustice #gardening #AI

My debut novel #friendme (#scholastic 2020) is a techno #thriller for #middlegrade about a bullied girl whose bully has a bad accident: she starts to worry that her new best friend, who she only knows online, might be responsible.
