Graduating with a Bachelor of Arts from University of Queensland in 1996, Michelle is currently undergoing studies to further her career as a published author and book publisher. Australian publisher, Wombat Books has released her first children’s picture book titled The Bedtime Band. It is the story of what the animals in the Australian bush get up to when children are at home asleep in their beds. Another two children’s books are currently under consideration for publication, as well as a series of Young Adult Junior Novels. Michelle has two sons, Jordan and Cody, who she has read to every day since they were born, as she believes in the importance of fostering a love of books in children. Her books encourage children to use their imagination and dare to dream big. Michelle is available for workshops on writing for children from Prep to Grade 12, ranging from “how to write a children’s book” to “the power of words”. These workshops are conducted for a nominal fee, and can be catered to a school’s particular curriculum. Michelle also works with local artists who are available to conduct illustration workshops in conjunction with or independently of the writing workshops.
