Here at Booked Out we love hearing about how school visits go after we do the organising bit, and last week we were thrilled to receive some great feedback (and pictures!) from Cath Crowley’s visit to the year 9 students of Presentation College to talk about her book, Graffiti Moon.

Here are two fabulous student comments:

I really enjoyed the Cath Crowley experience! I learnt a lot of new and creative ways to write and how to avoid writers’ block. She answered a lot of my questions about her novel ‘Graffiti Moon’ and showed me the inner workings of her mind. It was a really good experience and it will help me to write in the future.

Today we got to meet author Cath Crowley. She took us through writing exercises, giving us great ideas for short stories. She also gave us the opportunity to ask her questions and get our ‘Graffiti Moon’ books signed. I learnt some great writing tips and it was a fantastic experience.

Thanks to Fiona Hall for sending us these comments and pictures!

Graffiti Moon is a great read, and has been studied in many schools since it’s release in 201o. Set over 24 hours in the lives of four teenagers on the verge: of adulthood, of HSC, of finding out just who they are, and who they want to be.
In 2011 Cath took home the NSW’s Premier’s Literary Awards:Ethel Turner Prize for Young People’s Literature and the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards, YA fiction for this book.
