Acknowledgements
A book on writing contains the wisdom of the writers and teachers who have been there before, so for this I especially acknowledge and thank Joy Cowley, Rachael Bush, Bill Manhire, Margaret Mahy, Brigid Lowry, Dinah Hawken, Kate de Goldi and Thom Conroy - and my children Hana, Merrin, Rory, Nick and Evie. Thank you, Judith, for your artistry.
