❤ On yesterday's International Day of People with a Disability, it was my great joy to combine my current career as an author and my first career as an Occupational Therapist . A truly lovely full-circle moment in my life ❤🙏📚 . ❤ I was invited by author and friend Diana Lawrensen @dianalawrensonauthor to volunteer technical support to Tess, the Writer's Club program coordinator at Bayley House @bayleyhouse , to facilitate the publishing of books written in the program. . ❤ Thanks to the fantastic technology @canva we have been able to publish books of exceptional quality and give a voice to eight adults with intellectual disabilities ❤🙏📚 . . ❤ Diana volunteered with the Writer's Club one session per week over a period of one year. She also enlisted the volunteer help of accomplished children's book illustrator Marjory Gardner @marjorydraws . Many people at Baylely House worked on the compilation of the books - which looked spectacular printed in hardback!! . . ❤ The whole project was possible thanks to a grant from Bayside City Council @baysidecitycouncil . ❤ Thanks also to @scbwi_vic for providing a rich professional development program for children's authors and illustrators in Melbourne - it was through attending regular meetings with the Melb branch of SCBWI that I connected with Diana and Marjory.❤🙏📚 . . . . #idpwd #books #storywriting #booklaunch #booklaunchparty #bayleyhouse #baysidelibrary #baysidecitycouncil #inspirationalpeople #volunteering #disabilityawareness #emmabowd #author #occupationaltherapist #fullcircle #circleoflife #joy #scbwi #scbwivic

❤ link in profile ❤ Resource Sheet for VIC Primary School Kids who are super keen to develop and showcase their writing skills via competitions, workshops and online courses. . ❤ I put this resource together, as I'm regularly asked during my school visits and author talks varying combinations of the following questions by encouraging teachers and parents: "We have a student/child who's a talented and enthusiastic writer. How can we foster their love of creative writing and help them showcase their work? Where/how can they share their writing? What resources, competitions and/or writing courses are available which specifically cater for children?" . . #kidlit #middlegrade #writingresources #kidswriting #teachersofinstagram #teacherresources #creativewriting #writingcompetition #writing #primaryschool #emmabowd #authorsofig #writerscommunity #writershelpingwriters #literacyambassador
💛 "It's my hope that by providing a fun and supportive way of crafting a story together, the children will gain not only useful skills in literacy and language development, critical thinking and comprehension skills; but that their enthusiasm for reading and writing will also soar, along with their confidence in learning." 💛 . 💛 Thanks to Tate Papworth for giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts on this year's Ardoch Writer In Residence: 'Book for the ages' (12 Nov, 2019, Brimbank & North West). . 💛 Big thanks to the @star_weekly newspaper for supporting Ardoch's 'Writer in Residence' program over the past 4 years 💛 I know that the students, their schools and their families gain so much from your community support. . . . #starweekly #melbswest #westisbest #community #support #ardoch #writerinresidence #joy #somuchfun #giveback #educationforall #emmabowd #writer #author #literacyambassador #literacymatters #education #amwriting #literacycharity #middlegradefiction #kidlit #creativewriting #writingworkshop #writerslife #writersofig #illustratorsoninstagram
❤ Thrilled to be awarded this e-badge for my Shortlisting in the Scribbles children's literature 'Creative Writing Awards, 2019', in the Middle Grade Fiction Category. Congrats to the winner @mandylangloisauthor. Especially humbled to be one of six shortlisters from a large field of talented kidlit writers. It takes great courage to put your work out into the world, and every single entrant is a winner in my mind. . ❤️ BIG thanks to @jenestorer for creating this Competition in 2018 as part of her Scribbles Creative Writing Academy. It's very quickly become an important date in the Australian Children's literature calendar for many aspiring and established children's authors and illustrators. . ❤ Also thanks to the judging panel of @juderossell, @lucindagifford , @gusgordonbooks, senior editor Michelle Madden (@penguinkidsaustralia) and to the competition sponsors @harperkidsau . . . . #keepscribbling #kidlit #creativewritingcompetition #happy #humbled #shortlist #middlegradefiction #middlegradebooks #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #amwriting #happycreativelife #emmabowd

😊 Such a joyous day yesterday 🤩⚡️🎉 It was a true community celebration to launch my fourth annual Ardoch 'Writer in Residence' book, 'Mrs Balil's Brilliant Boots'. ⚡ The entire Ardeer Primary School community of students, educators, parents/carers/friends, @ardoch_yf representatives plus Librarians from @brimbanklibraries (copies of our book are now catalogued in ALL five libraries in Deer Park, Keilor, St Albans, Sunshine and Sydenham) and even a representative from the local Member of Parliament @nataliesuleymanmp gathered to celebrate the creativity of fifty Yr 2/3 students under the cover of their brand new outdoor area! ⚡️ It's been an honour to be part of this program since its inception in 2016, and to see it grow to five authors in five schools across Melbourne both this year and last (all thanks to generous corporate donors and the tireless work of Ardoch). ⚡ Head over to my author Facebook page: emma.bowd.au for some more pictures plus a reflection of my experience with this wonderful school community. ⚡️ . . . #booklaunch #ardoch #writerinresidence #joy #somuchfun #giveback #educationforall #emmabowd #writer #author #literacyambassador #literacymatters #education #amwriting #literacycharity #middlegradefiction #kidlit #creativewriting #writingworkshop #writerslife #writersofig #illustratorsoninstagram

Heavenly trip to @bendigoartgallery for the 'Balenciaga: Shaping Fashion' Exhibit ❤💖 A large part of the exhibit was dedicated to the design and making of the garments... which, as a mad sewer myself, I clearly adored 😍 Was chuffed to have my ruffled DEED bag on my arm and read Cristobal Balenciaga's delicious quote: "A ruffle must be intelligent." 😉❤💖 . ❤💖 The exhibit is on until Nov 10th - so much to see. Highly recommend ❤💖 . . . . #balenciagabendigo #fashionhistory #fashionexhibition #Balenciaga #bendigoartgallery #ruffles #emmabowd #writer #maker #sewer #fashionlover #hautecouture #bows #fashionicon #shapingfashion #fashion
