Judith Meyrick

Judith Meyrick has lived and worked in Halifax, NS for many years. She was born in Aotearoa, or New Zealand as it is more commonly called, and left to 'see the world' as young Kiwis are wont to do. However, unlike most, she never returned permanently. She came to Canada to visit friends and stayed, eventually settling in Halifax, where the sea air reminds her of home.

In 2005, Judith took a "Writing for Children" workshop at the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia and discovered her passion for children's writing. She finds children a demanding audience who are quite unafraid to voice what they like or don't like. Reading to them is one of her great joys.

Judith is a freelance writer and editor. She writes articles and reviews and is currently working on a novel for 7-11 year olds, and several other shorter works for children. She edits a variety of different writings, including adult manuscripts and other non-fiction works and reports.

Gracie The Public Gardens Duck (Nimbus, 2007) is her first published children's book.
