Sue Lawson non-fiction books

Author Sue Lawson has always had a passion for history, particularly the true history of Australia’s First Nations People.

In a break away from her focus on young adult fiction, Sue Lawson’s first non-fiction work, Protest in Australia, explores how protests helped shape the nation we live in today. Published by Black Dog Books and part of the award-winning Our Stories series for middle readers, Protest in Australia reinvigorated Sue Lawson’s interest in history and marked a new chapter in her writing.

Sue also collaborates with other writers on non-fiction projects.

Nganga – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Words and Phrases, written in collaboration with Boonwurrung Elder, Aunty Fay Muir, OAM, was published by Black Dog Books, an imprint of Walker Books.

Sue has a number of non-fiction works on the go with Aunty Fay, and with other talented and emerging writers.

Contact Sue to find out more about her non-fiction books.

“In Protest in Australia, Lawson turns to non-fiction in a highly informative and thoughtfully illustrated picture book for middle and upper primary school students.”
