The founder of the Christchurch School for Young Writers, Dr Glyn Strange, is the winner of the 2010 Storylines Betty Gilderdale Award for outstanding service to the development of literature and literacy in New Zealand children. Dr Strange began the not-for-profit school in 1993, originally as a regional enterprise but now very much a national institution.

We are delighted that Joy Cowley, one of Storylines’ patrons, and a trustee of the Storylines Trust, was honoured in Wellington on Monday evening with the 2010 Prime Minister’s Award for Literary Achievement in fiction.

Celebrated children’s author Joy Cowley distils 40 years of experience  as a writer in her new book, Writing from the Heart:  How to Write for Children.

Over 100 volunteers are gearing up to help Storylines Children’s Literature Charitable Trust run the 17th annual Auckland Storylines Free Family Day, to be held at the Aotea Centre on Sunday 22 August from 10am-3pm.
