WIN $150 GIFT VOUCHERS: ALADDIN'S GOLD
Following a law degree and qualifying as a chartered accountant, Beverley McWilliams worked in corporate tax before running her own consultancy business. But she decided life was too short for facts and figures, and she ditched the rat race to pursue her dream of becoming a writer. Now Beverley happily spends her days surrounded by books: writing, reading, pondering and eating way too much chocolate. Beverley's debut picture book Born to Fly was published by MidnightSun mid-2019. She has also published work in children's magazines. Beverley lives in Adelaide with her husband, four children and a menagerie of pets, who provide endless inspiration. Timothy Ide has illustrated a number of children's books, among them award-winning Tom the Outback Mailman and King of the Outback with Kristin Weidenbach as well as Beverley McWilliam's Born to Fly, Max Fatchen's A Country Christmas and Fiona McIntosh's Fantastica: Shapeshifter series. He is also known for his court sketching work for the Adelaide TV news networks.
