Kevin Nemeth

Scriptwriter and Children's Author

Kevin Nemeth is a popular and award winning scriptwriter with over 25 year experience in the industry. He has been awarded five Australian Writers' Guild Awards and has received another nine nominations. He graduated from the Victorian College of the Arts with a Diploma in Dramatic Arts and has received an Australia Council Literature Board Fellowship.

His latest children's picture storybook, Back in My Day, was published in July 2026 by Affirm Press.

This is a charming story replete with entertaining, extremely far fetched, tall tales and the love between a grandfather and his grandson.

Helen Edwards

Children's Author

Dr Helen Edwards, PhD, an award-winning children’s and YA author and speaker, has published five middle grade novels with Riveted Press. Her latest book, A Light on the Rocks, had several launches both at and near Cape Jaffa in February 2026 around where the story is set. Helen was awarded a mid-career fellowship with the South Australian State Library, supported by Writers’ SA, along with a grant from the South Australian History Trust to research and write this beautifully crafted story.

Other works include On Gallant Wings (2025), which shines a light on many little-known aspects of WWII in Australia (think flying boats and pigeons) and was long-listed in both the Book Links Historical Fiction Awards 2026 and the 2025 ARA History Awards and was HIGHLY COMMENDED in the 2026 NSW Young Person's History Awards.
