Author talk@TheLibrary
Last week the students at St Patrick's College were given the opportunity to watch a live feed Author talk/interview with Sean Tan. This interview was streamed live from the Sydney Opera House.
Some of the many Sean Tan picture books in the library collection
The students, and indeed the staff, gleaned a lot from listening to Sean speak of his struggles to write and be published, make ends meet during lean times, and the length of time it can take to see a book through from ideas to publication. He spoke of the illustration process and his sources of inspiration for his stories. All in all, a wonderful opportunity to gain some insight into what makes Sean Tan the celebrated author he is today.
