Author Fiona McArthur

Drawing from her earlier life as a rural midwife, Fiona McArthur shares her love of working with women, families and health professionals in her compassionate, pacey fictions. Her love of the Australian landscape meshes beautifully with warm, funny, multigeneration characters as she highlights the challenges for rural and remote families and the strength shared between women. Happy endings are a must!

Main Stage Presentation: My Journey to Becoming an Award Winning Author
With 55 books published, award winning Author Fiona McArthur loves to tell stories and write about strong women, rural and remote towns and the people who keep them going. As a past rural nurse and midwife, Fiona also writes about the medical staff that are called on in emergencies and the resilience required in a remote setting. In her presentation, Fiona will inspire us to follow our dreams, sharing her journey to becoming an award winning author, all while being a young mum, and answering those questions you’ve always had about the writers world.
