Welcome to the website of award-winning author Pamela Freeman
Welcome to my website! I love being a writer and doing this website allowed me to remember how much fun I had writing the books.

Lake Eyre
Pelicans on the lake - they come from thousands of kilometres away!
I am writing a non-fiction picture book about Lake Eyre for Walker Books, and I’ve just come back from a wonderful, invigorating trip to the centre of Australia, where Lake Eyre is filling with water from the Queensland floods. The Lake is normally dry and fills only once every ten years or so. Not only did we go to Lake Eyre, but also to Broken Hill, Coober Pedy, Port Augusta, and the Woomera Rocket Range!
I love the desert, and this trip was inspiring. The working title for the book is The Dreaming Lake. I have lots more photos and am happy to send some to anyone doing a project on Lake Eyre.

News
The launch of my new Victor book - Victor’s Challenge (Walker Books, $12.95) - was great fun.
Cerdon College in Merrylands invited me to launch the book there, and kids from lots of other schools came too. There were even students from my old primary school, St Mary’s at Rydalmere.
If you’d like to see photos of the event, go to www.cerdon.nsw.edu.au and look for the Pamela Freeman Book Launch link. My thanks to Cerdon College and all the people who helped, especially the three girls who actually launched the book: Alyssa, Talia and Maddie.
Books: If you are a student doing a report, you will find lots of information about my books on the Books page. Start there if you need information about a particular book, or about which books I have written.
About Pamela: If you want to know more about me, look at About Pamela
Frequently asked Questions: If you have questions about writing and being a writer, they are probably answered on the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page.
Contact me: Once you have read all that, if you still have questions you need answered, you can email me through the Contact Pamela page. But please look for the information on the site first, as the more time I spend answering emails, the fewer books I can write!
If you are a teacher, each book has Teaching Resources with suggestions for activities and links which might be useful. I’d love to get feedback on how the activities work in class, or hear about any others that you use.
If you want your students to correspond with me, I am happy to read all their letters/emails, but will probably respond in a single class email, as I just don’t have time to answer twenty or thirty individual letters. I am available for school visits and workshops through Lateral Learning (www.laterallearning.com).
For parents, grandparents, librarians and others, I hope you find all the information you need on the site. If not, please contact me.
I hope you enjoy finding out more about my books and how they were written.
