  • Summary

  • Jackie was born in Melbourne and set up home here in Newport almost 30 years ago after living in nearly every State and Territory in Australia, She’s been an actress and worked in theatre, film and television. A desire to choose which stories to tell led her to oral storytelling and later - to writing. To date, she’s written five non-fiction picture books for children. Jackie is passionate about the value of collaboration and building community through story sharing. She was president of Storytelling Australia Victoria for 4 years, currently enjoys a shared role (with Em Chandler and Adrian Newington) coordinating Newport Storytellers. Newport storytellers run a monthly open mike session and have produced podcasts & videos with local storytellers. In 2023 she represented the Newport team at a shared session on community & storytelling (with Kate Lawrence, founder of Story Wise Women) for the Federation of Asian Storytellers Conference - Jakarta. She attended my first fairy tale gathering in 2012 – The Monash Fairy Tale Salon, and two years later, was MC for the first Australian Fairy Tale Society Conference in NSW. In 2016, she delivered the keynote, Into the Bush: Its Beauty and Its Terror. As well as her books & storytelling, she creates stories in other forms like comic book making and Japanese Kamishibai.Find her website hereFor more information about Newport Storytellers, click here
