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 and animals. My debut picture book ‘Born to Fly’ , illustrated by Timothy Ide and published by MidnightSun, received a Notable Commendation from The Children’s Book Council of Australia (Eve Pownall Award for Information Books). I have published two historical middle-grade novels with Pantera Press: 'The Reindeer and the Submarine' (2022) and 'Spies in the Sky' (2023). I have two picture books coming in 2024 with MidnightSun Publishing and CSIRO. 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).
