There are many wonderful people who turn the wheels of SCBWI AustraliaEast. One role that is important, is the New Books and Awards Coordinator. Each month they collate SCBWI member publication and award successes onto our blog and FB for all the world to see, which then is raved about by Jemima Parker, who compiles our monthly newsletter.
Jacinta has decided to step down from her position and we would love to thank her for all her time, effort and care in helping the world know about our members’ success! You have been amazing.
Taking over from Jacinta will be Amy Jobson. Amy is a writer based on the beautiful NSW/QLD border. She recently won the JWFK Pitch It! 2023 competition in Picture Books and is an active member of her SCBWI critique group. After graduating with an Honours degree and thesis publication in Psychology, Amy switched gears and launched into the freelance world of presenting, acting, and writing in film and television production. She made young Amy leap for joy as a performer on Movie World’s main street and as part of the AD team on a Marvel film. Amy lives by the ocean with her husband, two divine daughters, and Aussie Shepherd Howie where they run a 4X4 business and squeeze in surfing and camping. Amy is currently submitting children's picture books and loves to connect with other creatives. You can find her on Instagram @amy_jobson or check out her website www.amyjobson.com.au
