The publisher and the writer

Today’s podcast features two amazing creators of children’s books. One is a publisher and the other is a writer. And, they’ve popped in to speak with Ken about their journey and offer up some great tips.

Anouska Jones is an award winning publisher from Exile Publishing and their children’s book imprint: EK Books. Their motto is “Books with heart on issues that matter.” She pops in to tell us all about it and maybe with some tips along the way.

Caz Goodwin is a Melbourne based author who writes picture books, short stories, poetry and junior fiction for children. She heads the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) in Victoria and is on the Young Australian Best Book Awards council. She is also the author of one of my favourite picture books at the moment, Daisy Runs Wild.
