Thank you to everyone for an incredibly busy Term 1!

We at Booked Out hope that our wonderful teacher clients have a great break over the next few weeks before settling back in for Term 2.

Over the holiday period the Booked Out team will still be working hard on upcoming campaigns, library and festival events as well as any general enquiries that you may have.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team with anything that we may assist you with!

We are thinking of the students taking the VCE English exam today, and sending our best wishes to them and all our English teacher clients who have worked so hard to prepare their students.

All the best for the rest of the exam period and Term 4 to everyone – hope you have a successful and celebratory end to the year!

It’s the best time of the year – happy Book Week season to all! While the official CBCA Book Week may have finished, the celebrations continue on throughout Term 3. Here in the Booked Out office we are loving hearing the updates on all the hundreds of events around the country and seeing students connecting with authors and illustrators (and we are admiring the dress ups too of course!).

Congratulations to all our hardworking speakers out on the road, and also an extra special congratulations to our speakers who received awards from the CBCA this year: Neridah McMullin (Honour Book – Younger Readers), Anna Walker (Honour Book – Early Childhood), Michael Wagner (Honour Book – Picture Book), Jess McGeachin (Winner – Eve Pownall Award) and Zeno Sworder (Winner – Picture Book of the Year).
