Kev and Trev

On today's show, we chat with the creator of a wonderfully funny collection or children's books, packed with quirky characters, adventure and plenty of laughs. We chat about ideas, bringing words and illustrations together, and the journey from packing fun little stories into her kids lunch boxes to a 3-book series of graphic novels. It can happen! So grab a taco and join us in a fun chat of books and adventure.

Today's guest is an award-winning Australian author and illustrator from the sunny shores of Western Australia. Her latest release is the third book in the hilarious Kev and Trev series. We'll chat about her author journey, now 14 books in, how she approaches the work and the art of creating stories. We'll hear how she started out in the industry, her creative processes and where her wonderfully ridiculous ideas come from. Everybody please give it up for the uber talented, Kylie Howarth.

On today's show, we chat with a children's book publisher who is opening back up for submissions soon. We chat about what they're looking for, what makes a manuscript or story idea stand out to them, and we look at some of the mistakes authors can avoid.

So, if you've got a story sitting on your computer, tucked away in a drawer, or almost ready to send out into the world, grab a taco and join us for some invaluable advice from the publisher's side of the desk.

Today's guest has been in and around the publishing industry his whole life. Just like his grandfather and his father before him. He's travelled the world with stories, and he's popped in to chat with us today about his journey and his work as publisher of EK Books. We'll get a good look at publishing from the other side of the submissions desk. So everybody please welcome, Nathan Thomas

Finding Wonder in the Wild

On today's show, we chat about a love of nature; how the natural world inspires stories and illustrations, and how these books can inspire kids to get curious, look closer, and discover a love of nature for themselves.

It's a terrific conversation about books, creativity, curiosity and the incredible world waiting just outside our door.

So, grab a taco, head into the forest, and join us for a wonderful chat with Jess McGeachin.
