Author Interviews
Get inside the brains of some great authors...
Sue Lawson
The best thing about being a writer is the characters. It’s scary, but my characters become real to me, so I truly love watching them grow and develop with the story.
Kirsty Murray
My last holiday was three weeks in China visiting Beijing, Shanghai, Huangzhou, Hong Kong and Macau. Fabulous.
Victor Kelleher
When I was a kid, I absolutely adored a gorilla in London Zoo called Guy. For years he was my all-time hero. I'd have made him Prime Minister if I could.
James Moloney
The worst thing I've ever written is a poem I wrote inside a birthday card for my first girlfriend.
Cameron Nunn
If I wasn’t a writer I’d be a frustrated teacher who wanted to be a writer. Funny, that’s what I’ve been most of my life.
JC Burke
The book characters I would most like to meet are the 3 Ugly Stepsisters, so I could tell them what I thought of them.
Gabrielle Wang
I'm a morning person because I have a morning dog who never lets me sleep in. ‘Breakfast is calling’, she tells me with wet nose nudges.
Carole Wilkinson
My first job was as a laboratory technician. I made microscope slides of cats' brains.
Felicity Pulman
The best thing about being a writer is being able to live in an imaginary world and have imaginary friends.
Neil Grant
I would switch on Big Brother if George Orwell (author of 1984 and creator of the original Big Brother) rose from the dead and gave Gretel Killeen a hard time.
Paul Collins
I left school at fifteen. Back then, many parents herded their kids into “trades”. I became an apprentice “clicker”.
Nick Earls
The worst thing I've ever written is some pretty dire poetry about various girls in the 80s
Julia Lawrinson
I was gonged on Hey Hey It’s Saturday whilst wearing a pink lame dress and a sequined cap.
Margo Lanagan
Elephants, angels, tarpits, Deep people, stuffed toy dogs, gypsies, accordions and dormer-beetles.
