Romancing the Stars is an annual event that has taken place since 2012 in Brisbane and has since included events held on the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

Romancing the stars is a chance to discover what books our local authors and illustrators have been creating for children and young adults in the past year.

The events are of interest to lovers or children’s literature, teachers and librarians.

Romancing the Stars 2021

Thursday 11 March, 2021

In 2021 we begin with an online event, not because of Covid but because many of the book creators are from regional areas of QLD and could not physically appear in person.  This event will also focus on picture books.

Our second event will be on Tuesday 8 June 2021 at Coomera Anglican College on the Gold Coast. The final event will be on Friday 29 October 2021 at Immanuel Lutheran College, Buderim.

Romancing the stars is a chance to discover what books our local authors and illustrators have been creating for children and young adults in the past year. Speed date these local stars, meet others informally. Food, PD certificates, pop-up bookshop, illustrations for sale, raffle and quiz competition.

Join us if you are a teacher, librarian or lover of children’s literature and want to gain an insight into the inspiration behind the latest books.
