Ever wondered how a school librarian from South Australia could end up as an international speaker and fantasy author? In this episode of 'Toni TV', Amanda Schubert shares her remarkable story. Amanda's journey began in the Riverland region, where she balanced life as a mother, children's book illustrator, and librarian.

But it’s not all glamour; she delves into the nitty-gritty of writing, from the crucial role of editors to the emotional rollercoaster that comes with creating a novel.
She also shares practical advice for aspiring writers, emphasizing the importance of resilience, collaboration, and self-care. Throughout the conversation, Amanda highlights the power of saying yes to new opportunities and learning from every piece of feedback. Her story is a testament to how passion and perseverance can turn dreams into reality. Tune in to hear Amanda's inspiring journey and maybe find a spark for your own creative endeavors.
