WA BRANCH NEWSLETTER

From 2013 the newsletter of the WA Branch of the Children's Book Council of Australia has been published as an e-newsletter and emailed to financial members of the Branch. It contains information about WA Branch events, profiles of committee members, information about Western Australian authors and illustrators and their publications, notification of Australian and International Children's Book Awards plus other articles and news to keep you in touch with what is happening in the world of children's and YA literature in WA and elsewhere.

We hope the online version of the newsletter is a handy reference for WA members and an interesting introduction to the Branch for the wider public.
