Last night was the grand finale of the About the Boys About the Girls series, entitled About us All - Crossing Boundaries. John Marsden and Anna Ciddor took it in turns to discuss the gender issue in writing for children and young adults, as well as discussing writing in general and the way in which they approach their writing. The evening was very interesting and a great hit with the audience who enjoyed hearing about the very different way in which authors plan (or not, in the case of John!) and write their books.
We also launched our new Youth Blog last night, it is called About the Books and the web address is www.aboutthebooks.blogspot.com. There is a link from our website as well.Check it out for all the news and reviews from the Youth Services Team.
