On Thursday 6 October, best-selling author Jacqueline Harvey – author of the Alice-Miranda and Clementine Rose series of books, visited Queenswood to talk to Year 7 about her work as a writer.

She answered many questions from the floor about her processes and inspirations, and signed stacks of books after the talk.

Later that evening, the House room in Stamp was eerily quiet – every girl in Year 7 had her nose in a Jacqueline Harvey book!

We would like to thank Jacqueline for giving up her time, and hope that she remembers us to our exchange friends at Abbotsleigh in Sydney, where she used to work as Deputy Head of the Junior School before embarking on her literary career.
