Have you every wondered how a children's author gets ideas, goes about writing a story, works with an illustrator to being the story to life?
Award winning children's author Stef Gemmill will be the special guest at Torquay Rotary's meeting on 19 October and will talk about how she has come to writing children's books and a whole lot more.
Previously a technical writer and music journalist, Stef Gemmill swapped the music mosh-pit for toys and tantrums to write books for curious children. Her work often reflects her quest to understand the true meaning of ‘home’ after spending a short period in a foster home in her teenage years.
Stef lives in the Victorian High Country in winter and on the Surf Coast in summer with her family and sleepy cat, Luna, the star of her award-winning book, 'A Home for Luna'.
