As always, the trip from Bathurst into Sydney for the Children's and Young Adult Literature Festival was well worth it.
It was a beautiful sunny break from wintery Bathurst weather. Added to this, I got to meet some of my favourite children's authors and had lunch on the lawn with Lisa Berryman from HarperCollins. The festival is always such a relaxed and welcoming place to hang out.
The only slight disappointment of the day was that New Frontier's editor, Sophia Whitfield was unable to attend the festival. I was hoping to meet Sophia, mainly because she has my book Paper Magic under consideration at the moment. It would have been nice if she could have matched up my face with the name on the manuscript.
There were some very interesting and informative panels during the day, and I picked up a couple of leads I will be following up on as soon as possible.
