Devasted to hear about Cal Wilson’s passing. She was a gifted comedian and a warm, wonderful human. Love to her family. #valcalwilson

Went to my local bookstore to celebrate my first YA being sent into the world, and lovely Kerry presented me with two cupcakes. Just because. #KidLitChat #onsubmission #loveyourbookshop #independentbookseller #milesandhenry

I’m Zanni living in Australia. I write PB, JF, MG and YA. Right now, I’m in the structural edit of an MG to turn in 2 Oct. My style ranges, but my MG and YA writing is contemporary realism. Love a bit of humour too!
It's time for #FinishUrBookFall - a gentle writing event to help motivate writers without pushing them to burnout! We're starting early this year (today!!) & we have weekly prompts to help us reach the finish line! Day 1 (today!!!) is introduce yourself & share what you're working on! 🍂 go go go!

At Oakleigh State School for the next two days. One of my favourite parts of school visits are the incidental conversations with kids in the library at lunch. I found myself reading to a bunch of them! #KidLitChat
