MAGGIE HAMILTON
Maggie Hamilton lives in the inner city area of Sydney and worked for key publishers for the last two decades. Now Maggie devotes her time to writing and teaching. She has written a number of books for children, including The Lost Kingdom of Lantia, My Secret Diary and Mister Eternity (an adventure story involving the mysterious Arthur Stace who went around writing on the pavements.) She has stories published in The Road to Camelot, and 30 Australian Stories for Children. Her newest titles for children are Magic Tricks and Very Tricky. Maggie has a Masters in English and is a qualified drama teacher.

Maggie is a great believer in the need for magic and dreams in the face of the perceived hopelessness of the modern world. In her sessions for students she aims to stimulate interest in words, in ideas and in ways of seeing. She combines her academic, creative and theatrical interests to offer dynamic talks and workshops. Maggie's recent 'adult' publications include Love Your Work – Reclaim Your Life, Coming Home, What Men Don’t Talk About, and What's Happening to our Girls? What's Happening to Our Boys is due for publication in mid 2010.
