New UQP auction item for #AuthorsForFireys: Our children’s & YA editor, Clair Hume, is offering up a one-on-one manuscript/folio assessment. This is your chance to get your work seen by an award-winning children’s publisher!

Chiming in with our item for #AuthorsForFireys... us! If you're an aspiring kids' author or illustrator, we'd love to have you visit our Sydney office with your MS or portfolio. You can chat with our teams in editorial, design, marketing, sales... and have lunch on us, of course!

There are so many amazing manuscript assessments currently on offer through #AuthorsForFireys / #authorsforfiries that I am going to attempt an ongoing thread of them

Wow! It's been amazing to see the enthusiasm for our items so far 💓 we're up to $300 for the package of book hope and $550 for the storyteller opportunity, with all proceeds going to CFA Victoria #authorsforfireys

One for the Alison Lester fans #AuthorsForFireys

Incredible opp. What an item 🤩#AuthorsForFireys

Beautiful Byron house, manuscript chats with Zanni Louise Arnot and champagne? Incredible. #AuthorsForFireys

Ever dreamed of having a character named after you? SUCH a good addition to #AuthorsForFireys

*UPDATE* if the winning bid for our Storyteller opportunity (2) needs to travel to for filming, our library partners James Bennett PtyLtd will donate funds to assist in getting airfares to and providing accommodation in Melbourne!

*Another exciting update* some of our storytellers and creators will be providing extra bits and pieces for Item 1. Aura Parker has just popped a print into the mix, Michael Wagner has donated an extra book (Pig Dude!) and Tania McCartney is putting in a little extra something.

Incredible! We're at $1000 for our storyteller opportunity! We're in the final hours now, with bidding ending at 11pm tonight.

Congratulations to our winning bidding for BOTH items - Trish Trchala (Jowett) has won item 1 at $500 and item 2 at $1400, with all proceeds going to CFA Victoria cfa_updates 👏

In our excitement, we incorrectly identified the winner of Item 1. Our official winner is Dianne Louise at $410 🙌 But we're happy to share the news that we've put together a second package of book hope for the bid entered after the 11pm cut off by Trish Trchala (Jowett) 📚

A huge thank you to Dianne Louise and Trish Trchala (Jowett) for your understanding, enthusiasm and donations, and to everyone for your support of #authorsforfireys. We're honoured and humbled to have been able to support the Victorian Bushfire Appeal.

An amazing result. Humbled to be a part of this generous, supportive and imaginative industry.
