Publishing
 |
Publishing a book is an immensely satisfying and rewarding experience. Creating your own book is something I would thoroughly recommend, be it a work of fiction, your memories, family history or a passionate interest. You are creating something that your children and family will treasure long after you are gone (even if they never actually read it). |

Below are some of the publishing projects that I have been fortunate to be involved with: |
Produced by the Aboriginal Health Team – Diabetes Western Australia This was an eminently worthwhile project to work on – a ‘Diabetes Prevention Storybook’. A culturally appropriate storybook for young aboriginal children. PRESS HERE for more… ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
‘Australian MythoCreatology’ is a comprehensive bush guide to Australia’s magical creatures, illustrated with full colour portraits set to thrill even the most unimaginative youngster. Included in this collection is a series of Aussie fairytales staring home-grown heroes suddenly thrust against fantastical creatures lurking unseen in the enchanted Land Down Under. ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
Produced by Basic Training Ministries & Grace Tabernacle Ministries A range of Missionary Children’s Books for Basic Training Bible Ministries. Published in four languages and distributed throughout America, South America, Africa, India and Australia. ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
Written by Yvonne & Kevin Coate These series of books were a pleasure to do; not only are they fascinating books regarding Western Australian history, but I spent many a fun day working with my mum designing and laying them out. ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
Produced by Jerry Barrett – Extreme Medical Another eminently worthwhile project to work on. The FAiP series endeavours to visually teach the basics of first aid, like: hygiene, burns, bites and brakes, to age groups and cultures that have low literacy. ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
Written By David Webb Joe is a true story about a cheeky Blue-eyed Cockatoo who lived a carefree life as a young girl’s pet on a remote Pacific island plantation. ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
Written and Illustrated by Ian Coate The accidental meeting of an aborigine and a mermaid will change forever the way you view traditional stories and folklore. ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
One of my earliest publishing projects was Billabong Valley working with the talented author, Don Cronk. For a self-published book, Billabong Valley has done extremely well. To the present day, it is sold in all states of Australia and has even had success overseas. ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
I was seventeen when first asked to illustrate covers and contribute internal artworks for Australian Realms, a magazine for role-players of games like Dungeon & Dragons. ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
Above are a few of the titles that I have been fortunate to work on. Hopefully, the future will hold many more. |
