Author Pen Pals is a brand-new initiative created for 2023 to connect Australian authors and illustrators with Australian schools, in particular those that rarely have the opportunities to host or meet authors due to a lack of funds or their remote location.
The Festival still runs over 5 days each year but now comes with a whole year’s worth of interactive, adaptable and on-demand resources you will love. Designed by teachers, our program and resources help teachers engage students in writing without adding 100s of hours to their year – rather it saves precious time.
