Qwiller Publishing
Re-imagining our world through education resources and books
Our Mission
Qwiller Education is committed to assisting students in Australia and around the world develop critical literacy and imaginative thinking. It is our belief that quality education is essential to re-imagining and creating a better world.
All the Qwiller education resources are built around the simple premise that when students critically and imaginatively engage with literature and language a greater level of empathy, understanding and awareness of others and themselves develops. Critical literacy also develops agency so that students can meaningfully engage with the world through listening, speaking, reading, writing and viewing.
Qwiller Trade Publishing produces progressive titles that seek to express, challenge and represent different ways of imagining how we make sense of the world.
Our Education Resources
Our English educational textbooks and workbooks and teaching handbooks/programs are easy to follow, creative in their design and are based on strategies developed from current research into pedagogy as well as literature and developing secondary students’ skills in writing, reading, speaking, listening, viewing and composing.
The resources available to students are suitable for school or personal purposes. Most of the resources for teachers and students are inspired by the Australian English Curriculum and all state-based syllabi. Because English teaching is universal, teachers and students following curriculums from other English speaking countries will find the resources worthwhile as well.
My Story
My first foray into education writing began with HSC English Area of Study: Belonging, a student workbook, which was published by Macmillan Education Australia in 2008. From there I co-authored a series of English education textbooks for the Australian English Curriculum for Macmillan. The first two in the series (for Years 7 and 8) were published in 2011, Year 9 in 2012 and Year 10 in 2013. In 2009 I also co – authored QLD English Essentials 3, which was also published by Macmillan Education Australia.
I also write for Pascal Press. I have written several chapters for their HSC Advanced English Excel books – for 2014 and 2019. Click here to purchase the latest edition for the new NSW HSC English syllabus.
I have written a number of workbooks and units of work for secondary English, both for Qwiller and for Southern Cross Distance Education. These include workbooks/units for Years 7-12.
I have also written HSC hybrid writing guides for Qwiller. These include HSC English Area of Study: Discovery and HSC Standard Modules for the now defunct NSW HSC English Syllabus. New titles for the current HSC English Syllabus include HSC English Common Module: Human Experiences, HSC English Standard Modules, HSC English Advanced Modules and HSC English EAL/D Modules.
