This is a Photo Story about the Portsmouth Literary Quiz of 28 January 2016. It was held at Fratton Park for Year 7s and 8s of Portsmouth. Featured authors were Ali Sparkes (Carjacked), Jamie Thomson (Dark Lord: Teenage Years), Jeff Norton (Metawars) and me, Candy Gourlay (Shine). Our books were part of the quiz -- hilariously we were not very good at answering multiple choice questions about our own books! Much fun was had by all - congratulations to the amazing school children who participated. Thanks to Peter Bone, School Library Service Manager of Portsmouth, Colin Telford of the Hayling Island Bookshop, and the teachers and librarians who made the day work like clockwork! http://www.candygourlay.com/2016/03/portsmouth-lit-quiz-2016.html Photos by Candy Gourlay (unless otherwise indicated)

Candy Gourlay's Teaching Resources: SHINE - Is the Calm real?

Candy Gourlay

This was my final project for Graphic Novel 1, taught by Emily Haworth Booth at the Prince's Drawing School. I wanted to tell the story of how I met my husband during the 1986 People Power Revolution but how memory (and my excitable storytelling) has added a lot of colour to the story. By story I mean the part where I met my husband. The revolution itself was pretty much as exciting as it sounds. This is my first completed comic story (thought I've done a lot of strip comics before). Storytelling through sequential art is a fantastic challenge. I loved it.

What would a Netflix for books be like? There are booky start-ups that have adopted Netflix's subscription based all-you-can-consume model but what interests me is the power of its recommendation and search - and its potential to save sectors of the book industry under pressure from the mighty Amazon. This is just a fantasy. What if ... what if ... Here's the blog post this slideshare appeared in: http://www.notesfromtheslushpile.com/2014/01/what-if-there-was-netflix-for-books.html

I recently visited Ellis Guilford School where Year Seven students have been reading my book, TALL STORY as part of the Learn-to-Learn Programme. The objective is to develop not just literacy but a love for reading by exploring the book via different themes. I was amazed by the work that they produced and the energy and imagination of the children and the staff. Thank you so much for reading Tall Story. I learned a lot from you all!

Every year the Society of Chldren's Book Writers and Illustrators in the British Isles stages a panel focused on gauging the State of the Nation - the children's book industry. This year I was honoured to compere the panel at our yearly conference in Winchester. It seems the Children's Book Nation has become a world of huge commercial debuts. But are we kidding ourselves? Will publishers continue to support the authors if the books do not succeed as wildly as they hope? The bottom line features largely in decision making - no longer can an author or artist expect nurturing from their publishers and editors, in the name of enriching literature and culture. And this is the year libraries and booksellers are under siege as never before. The dominance of Amazon threatens the structures that hold up our book culture. What to do? What does the future hold? PANEL: Hodder Senior Commissioning Editor Beverley Birch Waterstone's Children's New Titles Buyer Melissa Cox Carnegie Panel member and Chair of Youth Library Group Matt Imrie Literary agent Claire Wilson from Rogers, Coleridge and White US Author and founder of SCBWI Lin Oliver Compere: Candy Gourlay, author of Tall Story CREDITS Thanks to Digital Book World and artists who created Penguin/Random House Logos http://www.digitalbookworld.com/2012/what-the-new-penguin-random-house-logo-might-look-like/ Thanks to photographers of UK Library Closures and Demonstrations Quotes from Nathan Bransford, Sara Odedina, Chris Riddell, Rachelle Gardner, Marjorie Scardino and the New York Times.

A photo report on the SLA School Librarian of the Year Award Ceremony at Dexter House, Tower Hill, London, 1 October 2012. The award was won by Adam Lancaster of Monk's Walk School in Welwyn Garden City. Also awarded was the School Library Design Award, on its second year. Winner was The Duston School in Northampton. The school library, known as "The Hub" was praised by the judges for giving students "ownership of their own space and their own place. Funky furnishings, a bold colour scheme, creative space planning, natural and artificial lighting, effective acoustics and ever changing, motivating signage and graphics make The Hub a destination like no other." Kevin Crossley Holland, author and chair of the SLA, in praising the finalists for the awards said: "Make no mistake about it! School libraries and school librarians are under real pressure – political apathy, cuts in their budgets, threats of redundancy, status within their schools. But all over the country, individual librarians are doing imaginative and valiant and, frankly, quite crucial work, inspiring a love of reading within their schools and communities. They’re not only custodians of the storyhoard, the river of poems and the building blocks of information but brokers of the relationship between books as physical artefacts and the Digital Age. Now, the very best of them have been shortlisted to be the SLA School Librarian of the Year. It’s an award that matters, and it should be recognised by each and every one of us.” Sponsored by Scholastic Children's Books, Raintree Publishing, and Demco Interiors.
