So your teacher has told you to do an author study and you've decided you'll do Joy Cowley. The only problem is that you haven't started it yet and its due to be handed in tomorrow or the next day. Help! you think. Then you decide the quickest way to get this done will be to ask your questions on my website. Right? Wrong! Sorry, but I don't have direct interaction with the website, and the webmaster can't answer your questions. You will need to do the research and find your own answers. What a pain!.
How can I help you with this? The information about my writing, my interests, my family is all on the website. You should find here, the answers to most of your questions. There are other websites which will give you more information. Check with linked websites Your local library will also have information. A helpful book could be: "Questions Kids Ask Joy Cowley", published by Scholastic NZ Ltd. The library may also have volume 2 of the Christchurch College of Education video "The Authors." If you begin your project early and find that after you've done all your research you have one or two questions still unanswered, you can write to me: Joy Cowley, P O Box 3413, Wellington 6140. I will do my best to answer. The only problem is that I work away from home and am often overseas, so unless you come down here and nail my feet to the floor, your letter could wait a long time for a reply. Groan, groan! you think. Sorry. There's no easy way out of this. Good luck, and if the going gets tough, you might have to switch to David Hill or Margaret Mahy. Joy Cowley |
