Hey TGs!

So many of you have shared that you'd love to be an author or artist one day, so this year we started a new section in Total Girl magazine called Creator Corner, where we chat to awesome authors and artists and discover how they got to where they are today. We also ask them to share inspiring advice for TGs.

In our latest Creator Corner, we chat with Renée Treml, the author and illustrator of awesome books like The Thylacine and the Time Machine, Sherlock Bones, The Super Adventures of Ollie and Bea, and more! In a special video for TGs, Renée shares her advice for those who dream of being an author one day. 

You can check out our interview with Renée in the August/September 2025 'Thrills and Spills issue of Total Girl, out the week of July 21 in Australia. 

You can also find bonus interview content with Renée HERE!

What's your fave Renée Treml book? Who else would you like us to chat with for Creator Corner? Let us know in the comments!
