Check out our Fiction Focus Blog for a growing list of Australian and International authors and illustrators who are writing for teenagers. They all have their own blogs and websites so that their readers can communicate with them and enrich their reading experiences.
Neil Gaiman, one of these authors, presented an inspiring keynote at the recent CBCA Conference in Melbourne. Teachers and older teenagers may have enjoyed Neil’s popular Sandman comics, which were published from 1989-1996. Younger students may know Wolves in the Walls, The day I swapped my Dad for two goldfish and Coraline, which is soon to become a 3D animated film.
