👠 My very own Dorothy Shoes - adding sparkle to the every day 🌟 On Friday, during my author presentation, a group of inquisitive Yr 2/3 primary school children asked me why I loved shoes so much 🌟👠 So I read them the first page from my non- fiction book, 'A Passion For Shoes': . 👠"Shoes make a lot of women happy. In fact, we love them. They are our faithful friends that travel life's many winding roads with us each day. Just to be able to glance down and marvel at their sheer beauty lifts our spirits, irrespective of the many obstacles in our way." 👠 . 👠🌟 FYI not only are these foiled red leather pumps by @sergiorossi super sparkly and spirit-lifting, they're supremely comfortable... perfect for walking life's long roads....or dancing all night long 😉🌟👠 . . . #emmabowd #writer #author #writersofinstagram #maker #literacyambassador #shoelover #👠 #redshoes #dorothyshoes #apassionforshoes #madaboutshoes #shoeprincess #pumps #sparkle #love #shoes #shoeslover #shoelove #shoeloveistruelove #littlethingsmakemehappy #creativelife
"Racism stops with us. The Australian dream starts with us," said Stan Grant at last night's World Premiere of the Adam Goodes documentary, 'The Australian Dream' @ausdreamfilm which opened the @melbfilmfest 👏 🙌 👏 A five minute standing ovation summed up the evening, which invoked so many emotions... bewilderment, sadness, incredulity, awe, frustration, inspiration and hope. ❤ . . . #miff2019 #melbourne #adamgoodes #theaustraliandream #stangrant #indigenousaustralia #saynotoracism #racismstopswithus #theaustraliandream #emmabowd #author #writer #australian
❤🙏 *proud* doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about being a 'Writer In Residence' for children's education charity @ardoch_yf 😊 Chuffed to be featured in their Annual Report, and to read the children's responses to the program. . 📚 😊 This week, I head into the Grade 2/3 classrooms at Ardeer Primary in Melbourne's West, for my 4th 'Writer In Residence' for Ardoch, since piloting the program in 2016. Over a 5-week period I'll conduct writing workshops with the students, where we create and illustrate our very own story book. After another two weeks collating and professionally publishing it, we present the school and each student with a copy of the final book.... which is always AWESOME !! . 💥 Term 3 is hands down my favourite part of the year! And thanks to generous philanthropic donors, Ardoch is now able to place a total of five authors in five schools this year!! . . . #ardoch #writerinresidence #proud #soexcited #emmabowd #writer #author #maker #literacyambassador #literacy #advocate #education #writing #reading #supporting #literacycharity #melbourne #middlegrade #juniorfiction #kidlit #creativewriting #writingworkshop

👏💚 Thank you to the team @scbwi_vic for hosting such a brilliant professional development afternoon! We were incredibly fortunate to have presentations from highly esteemed children's authors and illustrators Anna Pignataro (@annapignatarobooks) Susanne Gervay (@susanne_gervay) and Anne James (@booksillustrated) - with decades of industry expertise and dozens of accolades and awards between them. 💚 I found nuggets of gold in all the presentations. And being an author, I personally resonated with so much in author Susanne Gervay's presentation. She described the work of a children's author as, 'the work of angels'...tackling the issues in kid's lives, yet always seeking the light and joy in life, and of course writing from the heart. 💚 Stories can indeed change kid's lives - and how lucky and privileged are we to be a part of that! 💚 I was just so thrilled to be able to talk some more with Susanne during the break about our shared passions. Susanne is also head of the Australia East/NZ branch of SCBWI (@scbwianz) which is part of the worldwide Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (@scbwi). I'm so happy to be a member of this creative community. 😊💚 . . . #scbwi #scbwivic #professionaldevelopment #childrensbooks #childrensliterature #writers #writerscommunity #illustrators #kidlit #childrensauthor #childrensbooks #creativecommunity #emmabowd #susannegervay #authorsofig
Shoe bling 😍⚡👠 So I visited my favourite shoe shop in the whole wide world recently 😍 BIG call, I know, for this particular Shoe Princess!! (PS they have an awesome SALE atm ). . ⚡👠 I first discovered @maryonsshoes some 30 years ago as an impoverished Uni student - cobbling together my hard-earned waitressing money for the odd purchase 😂 I've since worked and travelled all over the world - visiting many fine shoe emporiums, as well as having books published on my favourite subject matter. . ⚡👠 Stay tuned for a very special 10 Year Anniversary Giveaway, in celebration of my novel The Shoe Princess's Guide to the Galaxy (@bloomsburypublishing ). . . #shoebling #shoes #shoeshop #instashoes #visitbrisbane #emmabowd #author #maker #literacyambassador #shoeprincess #theshoeprincesssguidetothegalaxy #authorsofig #shoelover #maryonsshoes

An afternoon's book haul from Byron 💚 How good is @thebookroomcollective 🙌📚 Saw LOTS of books by author and illustrator friends in the picture book and junior/middle grade section - could have done some serious damage were it not for pesky luggage limits!! . 💚 Very happy with a YA blockbuster for my teen bookworm + middle grade read for the child who never grew up (...errr me 🙊) and a gorgeous non-fiction book on handbags curated by Auckland Museum's Applied Arts and Design Collection for the bag designer/enthusiast in me. 💚 Would love to get up here for the @byronwritersfestival one day 💚 . . . #byronbay #beaches #books #thebookroomcollective #YAbooks #middlegradebooks #ilovekidsbooks #kidsbooks #nonfictionbooks #bags #emmabowd #author #writer #maker #literacyambassador #byronbay #girlsofpaperandfire
