Welcome to Paul Collins' website.  Here you can find all the latest news about Paul's books. Check out Paul's other site at www.paulcollins.com.au HEADLINES It's been a busy couple of years. In my role as publisher at Ford Street Publishing, I've published around sixteen books -- everything from picture books through to young adult books. The Glasshouse (illustrated by Jo Thompson) was chosen by IBBY as an Outstanding Book and was short-listed for the Crichton Award. It's had some stunning reviews. See the trailer here. My latest book is Mole Hunt, which at present is being critically acclaimed. Check out the new trailer for it. Other Ford Street titles that I've published have been short-listed for the Victorian and NSW Premiers' awards; the Northern Territory Read Award; Chronos Award (winner!); The Wilderness Award and others. German and French rights have been sold to a few books, and as I type this, there's a lot of interest from a French publisher for Mole Hunt. You can keep up with all that's happening with Ford Street Publishing by joining us on Facebook and Twitter. You'll see the icons on our homepage. In the meantime, I've started up a speakers' agency called Creative Net. Librarians and festival organisers can select authors and illustrators from over 50 presenters. Creative Net can be found at www.fordstreetpublishing.com/cnet. I don't charge for this service! I've been giving workshops in quite a few schools and libraries. This side of my life seems to be getting busier. It's great getting Out There and meeting my audience. The best news of all is that on June 10 the Australian SF Foundation awarded me the A Bertram Chandler Award for Outstanding Achievement in Australian Science Fiction. Paul and Isobelle Carmody chat with students at Kirwan State High during a joint fantasy workshop. You can book Paul Collins and others for your school, library or festival.
