Naomi’s earliest writing memories are of sitting down as a small child at an old typewriter, using her solitary pointer finger to type poetry on such topics as the delights of springtime, the splendour of waterfalls, and other beauties of nature.

In grade two she wrote her underappreciated poem ‘Giraffe’s Birthdays’ in which chaos ensues at the birthday table. To this day, Naomi is still resentful that no one recognised the internal rhyming structure of the poem, a form at the base of her writing to this day.

‘Giraffe’s birthdays can be a muddle

when a giraffe steps in a puddle.

It is a disaster at the table when the mother is not able

to control the children.

Naomi has worked extensively in the Australian Arts, Education, Libraries and Bookselling industries, spending time as a scriptwriter and performer in children's entertainment and working as a seasoned performer in theatre education around Australia. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in English/Theatre Studies, a Diploma of Education in English/Drama, and has trained with Trinity College London, receiving an Associate Diploma in Speech and Drama.

With a strong foundation in literature and critical thinking, her debut picture book 'Moon Sailors' was published October 2022 through Ford Street Publishing and is currently in pre-production for a puppetry adaptation. The first two books in her upcoming junior fiction series, 'Wendy, Weather Watcher', are scheduled for publication later this year.

When she is not spending weekdays as a Youth and Children's Library Officer or photographing mushrooms in the wild, she works as an ongoing writer/copywriter for the game 'Illustrated, exclusive to Apple Arcade and Apple Vision Pro.
