The Magical Heart of Writing with Tabitha Bird
Tabitha Bird writes Magical Realism and has just released her second novel The Emporium of the Imagination.
She grew up in Queensland and has been a storyteller since childhood. Her first novel, A Lifetime of Impossible Days published in 2019, tells the story of Willa Waters on three impossible days in her life at ages 8, 33, and 93. It's all about healing the past and saving the future with a strong element of magic realism, and won the Courier Mail's People's Choice Award for Book of the Year.
The Emporium of the Imagination is an equally magical tale about a mysterious shop that appears in places where it's most needed to help the people of the town recover from grief and trauma. It's a beautifully told story about love, comfort, and healing.
Tabitha has written in her blog about her own experience of childhood trauma and how writing and creativity have provided a healing space for her. She's an accomplished artist and has fabulous brilliantly coloured images on her @tab.bird Insta page.
She posts very honest posts on Instagram about self-love and creativity, making her the perfect guest for a Heart of Writing episode.
