E-grāmata: Finn and the Pen

Like most childrens authors, David Lawrence started out as a financial analyst! He went from creating profit-and-loss statements to performing stand-up comedy and TV writing, including comedy festival shows in 2002 and 2003 about running the Melbourne marathon.











David penned his first book in 2007. Since then, he has written another 13 fun-filled

childrens books aimed at engaging reluctant readers. Titles include the Ball Stars series written in collaboration with Basketball Australia, and the Maxi the Lifeguard books, written with Trent Maxwell, aka Bondi Rescues Lifeguard Maxi.











David is passionate about childrens literacy and is a proud ambassador of the Indigenous Literacy

Foundation. As an ambassador he works with children in remote communities to help them tell their own stories and write their own books.







David lives in Melbourne, Australia.
