Austen, Catherine

Catherine Austen is an award-winning author of books for children and teens, including All Good Children (Orca Book Publishers), which won the 2012 Canadian Library Association Young Adult Book Award. Catherine uses dramatic readings, humourous slides, and personal anecdotes to enliven her school visits. She can tailor her CEGEP visit to the interests of the class or bring a polished presentation on “Writing and Reading Dystopian Fiction.” She also offers writing workshops, using a series of short exercises to lead students through the writing and revision of one fictional scene.
