Speaker Spotlight: CNFC 2021 Conference ELIZABETH

Speaker Spotlight: CNFC 2021 Conference

ELIZABETH MACLEOD is an award-winning author of more than 70 nonfiction books for children. Dinosaurs, royal murder, horses that changed history, forensic science — Liz has written about them all. She’s also worked in-house as an editor at OWL Magazine and Kids Can Press books and has been a freelance editor for many other children’s publishers. Thanks to her special interest in biographies, Liz has written a lot of them, for various age groups and with an emphasis on great Canadians. Her most recent books include Canadian Women Now + Then, Meet Thérèse Casgrain and How to Become an Accidental Activist.

GILLIAN O’REILLY has been interested in words ever since she ate the dust jacket off the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary when she was 11 months old. She edited Canadian Children’s Book News for 20 years, covering many amazing books created by Canadian writers and she is the recipient of the 2016 Claude Aubry Award for distinguished contribution to Canadian children’s literature. Gillian has written two books for young readers: Slangalicious: Where We Got That Crazy Lingo and The Great Number Rumble: A Story of Math in Surprising Places, co-written with Cora Lee.

Join us for their session to learn more about writing nonfiction for kids and teens.
