EDWINA SHAW has been teaching creative writing at the University of QLD and in the community since 2005. She’s also been teaching yoga for over 15 years, most recently to performance dance students at the Qld University of Technology. These days she combines them both in innovative workshops and retreats, designed to uplift the spirits and get those creative juices flowing. Her novel Thrill Seekers was shortlisted for the 2012 NSW Premier’s Award for New Writing and has recently been released as a new imprint through Raven Books UK. In 2016 she released In the Dark of Night – a chapter book for young readers. She has been teaching yoga and publishing her writing since 2002 and was awarded a Masters degree in Creative Writing from UQ in 2005. Recently she was awarded a Screen Queensland development grant for her screenplay “Dear Madman” which is now in development with a producer attached under the title “M”.
