Writer in residence: Andrew Daddo

Andrew's managed to have a crack at just about every aspect of the entertainment industry, probably more out of necessity than by design. He's appeared on TV – some good, some great and some entirely forgettable, presented radio programs, podcasts, appeared on stage and a long, long time ago, even made a few movies. Maybe best of all, Andrew's an accomplished author. 

Andrew has written 28 books of various sizes, weights and colours. Picture books, chapter books, short story collections, novels and a vague biography – he's hard to pin down. He also talks up literacy in schools across Australia. Highly acclaimed One Step is Andrew’s first venture into the YA market. Grandma's Guide to Happiness, his latest picture book is out now. What's next? Time will tell, but given the history, it could be anything.
