Australian children’s book author, illustrator and visual storyteller. I weave magic, creativity and fun into all I do.
Join me at Storyfest Gold Coast for three days of literary events to spark the imagination and immerse yourself in all things books. A truly #kidlit-focused event with student sessions and workshops, Literary Lunch with Nikki Mottram, Illustrator Breakfast, Student Dinner (with yours truly) and storytelling throughout.
This is an opportunity to meet your favourite Australian authors and illustrators up close. Bring an extra tote bag for our jam-packed bookshop and save the date for our FREE community Prologue Party.
In between sessions, I’m running the Two Trees Writers’ Wall, a space to reflect, create and share your Storyfest experience, and if you’re up for even more adventure, grab a postcard and find the gnomes hidden around the festival to win a prize pack. Don’t miss out on my official Gnoming About: Tree Mail Adventure launch, on Wednesday 01 April at 1.45pm. Tickets and bookings are required and avialable here.
I can’t wait to see you there!
About Liv Lorkin
Liv Lorkin is a heart-led children’s book author, illustrator and visual storyteller.
Since packing books underneath her bed as a child, she’s loved reading, writing and colouring outside the lines. With a blended background in science and a career in design, she creates thoughtful stories that spread messages of hope and joy.
Inspired by nature, magic and a dash of whimsy, her debut graphic novel, Gnoming About: Tree Mail Adventure, is set to be released in early 2026 with great excitement.
When not immersed in illustrating, she can be found exploring gardens, finishing a good puzzle and drinking her third cup of tea.
