A fun guide to writing by award-winning author of many genres and writing styles -- Katrina Nannestad. A hands-on activity book to write in and practise the art of writing.
Katrina Nannestad is HarperCollins Australia's award-winning children's author successfully writing across a broad age range and selling into various markets in the industry. Katrina enjoys alternating her writing between the light-hearted and humorous stories with the historical fiction, which involves a great deal of research and emotional investment.
The inspiration for creating a fun writing book has come from Katrina's many visits to schools and libraries and her observation of how much her readers love to participate in her writing activities.
This is not only an insightful guide to writing but an inspirational and inclusive approach to creative ideas and writing. It will encourage children of all walks of life and level of education to enjoy the writing process.
