Phillip Gwynne, the prolific, multi-award winning Australian author does so much more than just talk in his dynamic presentations.
Depending on the age, interests and abilities of his audience Phillip will tailor each performance to maximize the impact of his ‘writing is for everyone’ message. As you can imagine after 23 years of writing over 30 books and presentations too numerous to count, he has a host of topics to choose from …
Phillip’s own story: how one of eight children who grew up in a rural house that had no books became a multi-award winning novelist and scriptwriter, is funny, moving and absolutely inspirational. Along the way he also managed to be a professional footballer, a marine biologist, a fruit picker and a computer programmer, so Phillip is able to incorporate a rich amount of life experience into his presentations. Phillip has been giving school talks and running writing workshops for over twenty years. As a father himself - he has a 28 yo son and 14 and 12 yo daughters - he is absolutely passionate about working with kids, nurturing and developing their reading and their writing.
