2020 AAA ONLINE PD CONFERENCE
Welcome to the TRADE FAIR
Better Read Kids is a wonderful venture in children’s literature. We are passionate about providing a creative space for children and young adults to grow and develop their own love of literature. As part of this endeavour, we host regular school holiday workshops in writing and illustrating, host events with children’s authors, run creative writing competitions for children and we visit local schools and community spaces. We do all this with the aim of inspiring a child’s love of books and sparking a child’s creativity.
We'd like to welcome you to our AAA PD Conference Trade Fair and thank our Sponsoring Publishers: Allen & Unwin, Bloomsbury Publishing, Hachette Australia, HarperCollins Australia, Lioncrest Education, Magabala Books, Melbourne University Press, Pantera Press, Penguin Random House, Walker Books and Wild Dingo Publishing, Wild Dog Publishing for their ongoing support.
