Hello and welcome to my website.
Since 2017, my passion has been writing books for children to educate on personal and social issues, and educational books about dogs. My books contain positive messages, and I aim to promote thought and discussion.
These days I also enjoy helping adults record their memoirs, writing biographies, working with emerging writers, creating the occasional short story and many other things relating to writing. If you have a writing project and you would like some input, please get in touch at gina@ginadawson.com
There's more information throughout the site so please read on.
More information about my titles can be found in the BOOKS section of this website.
My books are available for purchase through both online and physical bookstores across Australia. Although I no longer sell books via this website, please feel free to contact me through the CONTACT tab on this site if you want additional information about any title.
Thanks for visiting.
