Today is #worldivfday and I have chosen today to share a Substack piece about my relief at my IVF journey finally being over. It’s a very personal piece but it’s important. #secondaryinfertility #ivf #substack #WritingCommunity #writersoftwitter #writer open.substack.com/pub/jodiefitzs…

Living in Melbourne and being in your 40s is basically just getting excited when you put washing out on a beautiful sunny winter’s day, knowing it’s going to dry, and being jealous of your friends who got their washing out when you forgot.

I’m getting pumped to share my latest writing project with you all. It’s something very different and very exciting! #Writing #writingcommunity #writerslife

The end of Melbourne’s winter has really been quite beautiful. Love a balmy afternoon outside!

Introducing my upcoming project! Excited to share more about it as it gets off the ground 🤗 #Writer #WriterCommunity #writerscommunity #childrenswriter #writingforkids

It’s getting so close to the time I get to finally see the student illustrations for my first picture book for my #boldauthorbuddingartists series and it’s very exciting! #writerscommunity #writersoftwitter #authorlife instagram.com/reel/DAO7pw_zD…

Super excited to reveal the title of my upcoming #boldauthorbuddingartists picture book! instagram.com/reel/DCFX6wHBY…

I’m now live on YouTube! This is one for the kids, teachers and parents, with stories by me, illustrations by amazingly talented student artists and teacher resources for the classroom. I’m really proud of how this series is coming together.

Check out my first YouTube video, an introduction to my #boldauthorbuddingartists series. A great one for teachers! youtube.com/@mrsfitzbooks?…

Argh, my author copies arrived and I’m beyond thrilled to share the cover and blurb of the debut picture book in my Bold Author Budding Artists series! 🤗🤗

My Bold Author, Budding Artists channel is up and running with my debut picture book reading available to view! youtube.com/@mrsfitzbooks?…

Yes! Picture books make wonderful gifts for all ages. And thanks to Guardian Australia for championing the importance of, and craft of creating, quality children's literature. ❤️ theguardian.com/books/2024/dec…

Someone pinch me. School kids watching my YouTube video in their class. My picture book really getting out into the world! So surreal yet so amazing 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

My final post for the year! Some background on my new book series plus some Christmas move recommendations (or not!). Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎄🥂 open.substack.com/pub/jodiefitzs…

Just got my first real written review of my book and, wow, I could not be happier!! Click to see whole image, but I’ll take ‘brilliant’, ‘highly recommend’ and ‘perfect stocking filler’ any day of the week! 🎄🤗🥂

Book 2 of the #boldauthorbuddingartists series drops next week! So excited for what 2025 has in store 😊 #WritingCommunity #Writer #writersoftwitter

Oh my god, run out right now and see Robbie Williams #bettermanmovie if you haven’t already. That is all. But, seriously, right now.

Wowsers, I didn’t even know this kind of deal existed for children’s authors! It’s all good, I promise I’m not jealous at all…

Cover reveal for book 3 of #boldauthorbuddingartists 🤗🤗 Perfect classroom book for Easter!

Excited and nervous to share my first podcast appearance on the What I Wish I Knew Before Pregnancy Loss podcast. A place for really important conversations and it would be amazing if you shared so it reaches the women who need it most. sharnasouthan.com/podcasts/what-…
