Speaker Topics: Author Visits to Schools and Libraries

As a visiting author, festival speaker or writer–in-residence, Hazel has been invited  to Australian schools, kindergartens and libraries but also to international communities in China, Indonesia, Nepal and America. Hazel shares her research and writing experiences as a way of inspiring young readers and writers.

Literacy and literature are combined in talks, including:

• the process of creating a book
• collaborating with an illustrator to create the images
• rewriting and proofreading
• where ideas come from
• writing 'what if' stories for fiction
• writing factual stories
• writing articles and plays
• meeting the book characters
• story reading session
• embarrassing moments!
