Bronny and Muntsa go to Melbourne Writer’s Festival

August brings with it an exciting and fun opportunity for Melbourne readers, writers
and book lovers, especially Bronny and Muntsa who celebrate the Melbourne Writer’s Festival. The festival showcases a variety of authors and industry figures from an array
of different creative endeavors and backgrounds.

Here at Bronny and Muntsa we are very excited to see that the festival is hosting
a number of events which are themed around Children’s books. One such event is hosted by Jane Godwin, a writer of several successful children’s stories along with illustrative collaborator Anna Walker. Together they will share some of their stories and as well as explore different and creative ways to create them. This event will be held on Saturday the 24th of August at 11:00AM.

Another fun event will feature one of the most established names in Australian
children’s fiction: Morris Gleitzman. Along with fellow children’s author
Deborah Ellis, Glietzman will be discussing, among other things, where they
draw the line in conveying to children what the world can be like. This event
will be held on Sunday the 25th of August at 10:00AM.

Children’s stories mark most children’s first taste of fiction and begin to
open up their imaginations in all kinds of new and fantastic ways. It builds
the foundations upon which our children begin to build understandings of storytelling. It is for that reason that we here at Bronny and Muntsa are so thrilled to see that the MWF is featuring events themed
around children’s stories.

Bronny Featured in The Paper

Bronny Fallens
Bronny Fallens, Weekend Magazine, the Herald Sun

Just this past month Bronny was featured in the Australian newspaper the Herald Sun in their Weekend Magazine talking about how she came to be a children’s book writer! Did you know that getting divorced was the moment that set Bronny off on her path of self discovery! This included studying internationally, becoming a DJ on the radio and eventually becoming a published Children’s Book Author. She credits all her life experience so far as to helping her achieve her dreams ‘I believe that we have the capacity as human beings to achieve all of our dreams – all we have to do is believe – then go for it’ says Bronny.

Beijing Book Fair 2012 Here We Come!

We are so excited to be a part of the Beijing Book Fair for 2012!! This year it is being held at the 19th Beijing International Book Fair will be held at the China International Exhibition Center (CIEC) from August 29 to September 2, 2012. The exhibition area will cover 53,600 square meters, and the Netherlands will take part as the Country of Honor.

Our books My Super Single Mum, My Two Super Dads and My Super Groovy Gran will be a part of the children’s book zone. The fair will this year expand on last year’s innovative Digital Publishing Zone and will continue to run the Children’s Book, Cartoons & Animation Zone, Periodical Zone, Publishing on Demand Zone and the Rights Center.

This is an exciting opportunity for us as the Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF) has clearly become an important fair to be seen at, particularly if wishing to break ground in the Asia marketplace. We can’t wait to see what happens and share any wonderful outcomes with you.
