Devasted to hear about Cal Wilson’s passing. She was a gifted comedian and a warm, wonderful human. Love to her family. #valcalwilson

Getting through some structural edits at a cafe this morning up on the Gold Coast, prior to running a workshop this afternoon for Brisbane Writers Festival. What are you working on today?

Interesting!

Went to my local bookstore to celebrate my first YA being sent into the world, and lovely Kerry presented me with two cupcakes. Just because. #KidLitChat #onsubmission #loveyourbookshop #independentbookseller #milesandhenry

I’m Zanni living in Australia. I write PB, JF, MG and YA. Right now, I’m in the structural edit of an MG to turn in 2 Oct. My style ranges, but my MG and YA writing is contemporary realism. Love a bit of humour too!

It's time for #FinishUrBookFall - a gentle writing event to help motivate writers without pushing them to burnout! We're starting early this year (today!!) & we have weekly prompts to help us reach the finish line! Day 1 (today!!!) is introduce yourself & share what you're working on! 🍂 go go go!

We didn’t get that far north but had heard that it was a slow season. Still, we saw some gorgeous flowers. It was worth the adventure! Would love to go back one year.

Zanni Louise @zannilouise.bsky.social · Sep 13

Yep. Me too. Never seen it.

Zanni Louise @zannilouise.bsky.social · Sep 13

Of course they shouldn’t. In Australia, we don’t live with this threat either.
