Our goal is to establish a children's literature centre in Queensland where young people can interact with authors, illustrators and storytellers.
We aim to engender a love of literature in Queensland children and young people through our projects and events, such as
- author and illustrator workshops,
- Adopt-an-Author (an author working in an area for a short period)
- Travelling Suitcases
- Storytelling (in person and digitally).
The relocation of Queensland Writers Centre and allied organisations, including Queensland Poetry Festival, Book Links (Qld) and Children’s Book Council of Australia (Qld), is the first project for new initiative A State of Writing. A State of Writing, announced in September 2009 by Premier and Minister for the Arts, Anna Bligh, at the ceremony for the Queensland Premier’s Literary Awards, will connect writers, readers and ideas through a vibrant network of writing and cultural organisations in Queensland.
