Sponsorship Funds for my Next Book

sponsored-sliderWOOHOO! I, Karen Tyrrell, won a sponsorship for an upcoming writing project for the community.

I’ve waited and waited for this news for over a month. I can’t believe I actually did it!

As an award winner author, teacher and speaker, I’m thrilled and proud to be sponsored to create an empowering children’s book. I’m very passionate about the subject matter and how it will support children and families.

One for the production of Alzheimer’s picture book, Harry Helps Grandpa Remember. Its endorsed by Alzheimer’s Australia, Arts Queensland and Logan City Council.

sponsorshipAnother grant for the editing of my award winning mental health recovery memoir, Me and Her: A Memoir of Madness. Its about me, a bullied teacher and my recovery from bullying and PTSD.

And one to complete  Year of the Edit writing course at Queensland Writers Centre to maximize my writing skills.

I shared my experiences and knowledge by presenting seminars on Getting Grants at Logan Art Gallery, Moreton Bay Libraries and Write Links.

What does my Sponsorship mean?

An important organization will proudly sponsor my book with funds and their support to help me share it to the community. So far, I’ve achieved Stage #1 of my goal.

Now, I will take this sponsorship to apply for a grant for the remainder of the production  and marketing costs, Stage #2.

Who will benefit from my Project?

Children, families, teachers, migrants, refugees, schools, pre-schools and the community.
