BONUS EPISODE - CYA Conference

Join us at the 2018 CYA Conference, a professional development and networking event held annually in Brisbane. In our first ever Bonus Episode, we bring you a behind the scenes look at this inspiring conference, in our interviews with a broad range of people who were part of the day. We meet prolific children's book author and one of the key workshop presenters at this year's CYA Conference, Claire Saxby, and hear all about her work, the way she melds fact and fiction, and her thoughts on the event. A bunch of super talented winners and place-getters in the conference's writing and illustration competition also stop by the One More Page podcast station, and chat with us about what their competition success means to them and their ambitions for the future. We also meet CYA presenter Julie Winters, Associate Director of Neilsen Book, for the lowdown on stats and trends in children's books, and why creators should pay attention to them. Additionally, we chat to 'CYA Success Story' and SPIRIT author Cherri Ryan about about the role CYA played in kickstarting her writing career. And finally, we have a fun chat with the brains behind the entire CYA operation, the inimitable Tina Clark!   Read the show notes: www.onemorepagepodcast.com/bonus-episode-cya Email us at: [email protected] Find us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/onemorepageAU Twitter: www.twitter.com/onemorepageau Instagram: www.instagram.com/onemorepageau
