Episode 32: Beyond the Book

Join us as we go backstage at the Sydney Writers' Festival 2019 with kids' book authors (and SO much more!), Sally Rippin and Adrian Beck! We chat about the festival itself, where Sally held an awesome session about the creation of her brand new book, the final story in the Polly and Buster trilogy, The Search for the Silver Witch. Adrian was kept busy in the storytelling area in the Big Backyard as well as hosting the hilarious Never-ending Quack Up! session along with Sally and beloved kids' book authors, R.A. Spratt, Deborah Abela and Oliver Phommavanh. We delve into all the kids' book projects the two are involved in beyond penning their own books, from Adrian's role at TV show Kids WB, to Sally and Adrian's ambassador roles with charities aiming to raise literacy levels and get books into remote and disadvantaged areas. We also hear more about Sally's Melbourne-based community radio program where she interviews authors, plus we discuss the Kid Lit Club vodcast and Facebook community, what's happening next for the Total Quack Up! anthologies, and we all share our recent reads.
