There are a number of children's authors who are now Patrons of the InkRoom and are excited to support children's writing!

Our Patrons include:

• Susan Whiting - It took Sue Whiting quite a few years to get the courage to do what she really wanted to do – WRITE. And then it took another ten years before she finally got around to writing, but her success has been astounding. Read More...

• James Roy - James Roy was born in Trundle, NSW, but he didn’t stay there long. He had an exciting childhood in places like Papau New Guinea and Fiji before finally settling down in the Blue Mountains with his family. His fave book is The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Read more...

• Kim Michelle Toft - Kim Michelle Toft started drawing when she was only four years old.  She never felt like she really ‘belonged’ at school because she wanted to draw instead of play sport! Now she paints full time – all about whales, dolphins, fish, turtles and other beautiful sea creatures. Read more...

• Sally and Darrel Odgers - Sally Odgers is Tasmania's most published living author. She had her first story published in the NSW School Magazine when she was 12 years old, which was a great thrill as they paid her for her story! Since then she has had over 270 titles published. Read more...

• Michael Wagner - Michael Wagner is the author of the Maxx Rumble Football and Maxx Rumble Cricket series — 17 children's books bursting with madcap sporting action — and the acclaimed novel Dog Wars, a book about wrestling fleas and fighting dogs. His most recent hit series, The Undys, is about a father and son who love to play made-up games. Read more...

• Phil Kettle - Phil Kettle is way cool. He is the author of the hugely popular TOOCOOL series and just loves the conceited little Toocool Footy Hero. Maybe it reminds him of when he was a boy because he loved sport then – and still loves sport. Read more...
