About Pip Smith

Author of the children’s picture books Theodore the Unsure, and To Greenland! (Scholastic Press, 2019; 2022), the novel Half Wild (A&U, 2017) and poetry collection Too Close for Comfort (SUP, 2013). Writer, reviewer, mother and teacher by day. Singer and strummer of guitars in garage band Imperial Broads by night. 

In the somewhat terribly distant past I ran the monthly short story night Penguin Plays Rough out of an apartment, a warehouse, a former courthouse, a fortress, assorted libraries and art galleries in and around Sydney. A few friends and I put together an anthology of the best stories told at the event, and I still have many hundreds holding up the walls of my bedroom (email me if you want one!).
