Help me get to London!
<p>Hi! My name's Sally. I'm a novelist from South Africa that specialises in youth fiction (YA).</p> <p>My first novel, <em>The Goblet Club</em>, about a young man’s frightening experience in the world’s worst boarding school won the SABC/You Magazine I am a writer Competition in 2007, as well as the MER Prize for Best Youth Novel at the Mnet Via Afrika Awards in 2008. The novel was adapted into a school play entitled <em>G.I.F.</em><br /><br />My second novel, <em>Fuse</em>, which deals with the sensitive subjects of school killings, bullying and runaways, was shortlisted for the Percy Fitzpatrick Prize for youth literature in 2010. <br /><br /><em>Fuse</em> has also been selected as Ibby South Africa’s English nomination for the Ibby International Honour Roll and will be showcased at the Ibby World Congress in 2012.</p> <p>Please help me raise funds to attend the conference in London. There's no way I can afford to get there on my own, and it would be a dream come true to be able to be there in person to receive my certificate.</p>
