Sep 22, 2015 | Author news, News & Articles, Uncategorized

Apart from being a spectacularly fabulous place to live, Brisbane city is home to some amazingly talented creators. So, when Brisbane’s AWARD WINNING AUTHOR ANGELA SLATTER *AND* AWARD WINNING ILLUSTRATOR KATHLEEN JENNINGS teamed up to create beautiful illustrated editions of Angela’s short stories, I could not have been prouder to be asked to work with them on finding a publisher for their illustrated works.  The buzz has already started, and so I’m happy to announce officially that this creative duo have signed with Alex Adsett Publishing Services.
