👉MEET THE AUTHOR: Elizabeth Woodall (Losing Monty - Lessons in love and letting go)

Elizabeth Woodall (Denniss) is an author, life coach and facilitator of equine-guided experiences who brings deep empathy and lived wisdom to her work. With a Master’s Degree in Leadership and a Diploma in Life Coaching, she supports others through life’s transitions with insight, compassion and clarity.

She lives with her husband and extended family at Rainbow Ridge Farm in Western Australia’s southwest, where wide skies, gentle horses and nature’s quiet rhythms shape a life rooted in presence and authenticity. Deeply introspective and grounded in the natural world, Elizabeth’s work reflects a lifelong commitment to emotional awareness, personal growth and living in alignment with core values.

Her first book, Horses, Heartache and Healing, offered a tender exploration of resilience and transformation through the wisdom of equine connection. In all her writing, Elizabeth brings unflinching honesty and lyrical insight, inviting readers into spaces of courage, comfort and profound reflection.

MEET THE AUTHOR: Neil Butler (Change Change: Introducing the Art of Transformagination®)

Neil Butler is an Australian author, broadcaster, and business founder whose career has been built around helping people navigate uncertainty with confidence and optimism.

Drawing on decades of experience across education, corporate leadership, small business, and media, he has developed a distinctive, practical approach to organisational and personal transformation. In his work, Neil blends clear-eyed realism about the pace of change with a playful curiosity about what might be possible if we dared to imagine something different.

Change Change and The Art of Transformagination distils Neil’s core philosophy – that meaningful change is less about highly structured methodologies and protocols and more about everyday mindset, language and behaviour.

Through stories, frameworks, and questions that are intentionally simple but quietly provocative, he invites readers to reframe their relationship with change from something that ‘happens to us’ into something we can design, influence and even enjoy.

Away from the keyboard, Neil is known as an engaging speaker and host, trusted by audiences for his plain-language style, genuine warmth, and willingness to challenge conventional thinking without losing his sense of humour.

When he is not writing or speaking about change, he can often be found behind a microphone, in conversation with people doing interesting work in their communities and organisations.

Change Change is his latest contribution to an ongoing career dedicated to helping people think differently, act deliberately and create better futures on purpose.

EUROA // THE REGIONAL WRITERS ROADSHOW IS COMING YOUR WAY!
We've just confirmed a last minute roadshow event in Euroa, next Saturday 20 June. Hooray!

The Regional Writers Roadshow is a practical, no-fluff workshop designed to give regional authors a clear, realistic path to getting published - properly.

What you’ll walk away with:
✅ A clear understanding of your best publishing pathway (traditional, supported or self-publishing)
✅ What actually matters - and what to ignore
✅ How to avoid costly mistakes, dodgy contracts and wasted money
✅ A step-by-step view of how a book goes from idea to finished product
✅ How to start marketing your book to maximise sales from the beginning

Plus:
✅ Straight answers to your questions (no sales spin)
✅ Insight tailored specifically to regional and rural authors
✅ A room full of people doing the same thing as you

Who this is for:
✅ First-time authors who don’t know where to start
✅ Writers who are partway through and feeling stuck
✅ Business owners wanting a book that builds credibility
✅ Anyone who wants to get it right the first time

You don’t need a finished manuscript - just an idea, and the desire to understand how publishing really works.

Location Note:
The Euroa Library is closed at the time of this event. Therefore, you will need to access the event at the back of the library down Library Lane. Please park in McGuiness Street.

Date: 20 June 2026

🔥NOW AVAILABLE: Change Change by Neil Butler🔥

We're very excited to officially release this fantastic non-fiction title.

📙About the Book:

There’s something ironic about Change Management – for an industry built on change, very little has actually changed. Practitioners still rely on the same tired methodologies from decades ago, ticking boxes to satisfy executives rather than delivering real results.

But is that enough?

This book challenges the status quo, offering a bold and sometimes uncomfortable perspective on what true transformation requires. Not every idea will suit every organisation – and that’s the point.

Because safe, risk-free change isn’t driving real innovation anymore.

It’s time to change change.

📚 PRINTED IS NOT PUBLISHED 📚

This is one of the biggest misconceptions within self-publishing.

Just because a book has been printed doesn't automatically mean it's been published.

In fact, anyone can print a book.

You can upload a file to a printer tomorrow and order 100 copies. The printer will happily print them. But that doesn't make you a published author in the professional sense.

Publishing a book properly and officially, is much more than putting ink on paper. And, there are legal requirements to adhere to.

A properly published book needs:

✅ ISBNs and barcodes
✅ Copyright information
✅ Distribution setup
✅ Retail availability
✅ Metadata and cataloguing
✅ National Library Deposit

Alongside the production elements:

✅ Professional editing
✅ Cover design
✅ Internal layout and typesetting

And, so that people actually know it exists:

✅ Marketing and launch planning

Anyone can print a book. Not everyone takes the time to publish one properly. If your goal is bookstores, libraries and long-term credibility, getting the publishing process right isn't optional - it's essential.
