A writing process and career talk with Nova Weetman and Emily Gale, + signed copies of Elsewhere Girls and Outlaw Girls.

Are you thinking about writing a children’s book, either alone or with a co-writer? Are you having problems or doubts about a middle-grade or young adult novel, or wondering about the next steps in your writing career, and fancy talking it over with two old hands?

Between us we’ve written 20 novels, 2 of those jointly, several internationally, with a fair few shortlistings and a couple of awards. Nova also has a background in screenwriting and is about to release a memoir, and Emily has always worked with children’s books either as an editor or bookseller. We’re great listeners and love a good gas. So bid for this item if you’d like to talk over a long lunch, or via Zoom, and we guarantee you’ll walk away feeling thoroughly energised and clear.

We will also send you a copy of Elsewhere Girls and Outlaw Girls, our co-written novels, signed by both of us. An in-person lunch would need to take place in Melbourne and by agreement with all parties by the end of 2024. Alternatively a BYO lunch-length Zoom can be arranged.
