WOWsers

Q. How do you find the inspiration to write the most deliciously wicked books for boys learning to read?

A. Spend time at a beautiful resort on the Sunshine Coast with a talented writer and friend, eat great food, take a walk on the beach, watch the storms blow in and the rain bucket down, and just sit.

  1. Hi Max

    Yes, I know of your fabulous blog, your books and your work with boys who are reluctant readers. I think your story is inspiring too, that despite your reluctance to read when younger you now write for tween boys.

    Thanks for your comments and I look forward to sharing ideas and inspiration with you to keep our boys reading - and loving it.

    Cheers

    You forgot to mention a couple of other important ingredients of the writing weekend - your absolute determination and passion to create great books for young boys learning to read. To build upon a love of being read to and rocket them into an exciting world of independent reading. This is a life-long gift. Your commitment and desire to achieve this is inspirational.
