BEVERLEY MCWILLIAMS

My name is Beverley McWilliams, and I am a children's writer based in South Australia. I love to write across the genres and have a passion for stories based on non-fiction. My debut picture book ‘Born to Fly’ (illustrated by Timothy Ide) was published by MidnightSun in 2019 and received a Notable Commendation from The Children’s Book Council of Australia (Eve Pownall Award for Information Books). My children's novel, 'The Reindeer and the Submarine' was released in 2022 with Pantera Press, and my new historical fiction novel 'Spies in the Sky' is due for release in November. My non-fiction writing has been published online and in magazines, and I am a regular contributor to The School Magazine, Australia’s longest-running literary publication for children.
I am a member of The Australian Society of Authors (ASA). I am also the events coordinator and blogger for The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators SA branch (SCBWI).
