How to be an author of a graphic novel   On today’s show, we chat about a manuscript that was the first ever graphic novel shortlisted for Hardie Grant’s Ambersand Prize. Plus, the spark that ignites a great story and how ideas can grow into something powerful on the page. We talk about creativity, courage, and the magic of finding your voice as an author of illustrated books for kids. Today’s special guest joins us to chat about the inspiration behind her amazing graphic novel Inked, her journey into children’s writing, from working in film and television, to the themes she hopes will resonate with young readers. It’s an engaging and heartfelt conversation about the power of stories to shape who we are and how we see the world. Everybody please welcome, the wonderfully talented, Karen Wasson.
