Wendy Philips is a Canadian author. She grew up in Kamloops, British Columbia, and wrote her first book at the age of 11, and completed degrees in Journalism, English, Education and a Children’s Literature degree from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC. Her past jobs have included journalism, bookbinding and teaching English. She has lived in Lesotho, Ottawa, South Africa and Australia, but currently lives in Richmond, British Columbia with her husband, son and daughter. Phillips currently works as a teacher-librarian at MacNeill Secondary School in Richmond, BC. Phillips is also an author of young adult fiction, whose first book Fishtailing won the 2010 Governor General’s Award for children’s literature.
Notable works
Philip's first and only book Fishtailing was published in 2010 by Coteau Books after only two previous rejections. She was the 2010 winner of the Governor General's Literary Awards for Children's Literature in Ottawa, Canada. Fishtailing follows the lives of four fictional Vancouver high school students; Natalie, Tricia, Miguel and Kyle. The book switches perspectives between the four characters, showing how they interact and deal with violence, bullying and their desires to fit in. This book is unusual because it is written in verse instead of prose. Therefore, the book switches between the four central characters by displaying poems written by them.
This book comes from Phillips’ experiences with students. As a Librarian and teacher, Phillips was exposed to both the positive diversity of different cultures of a multicultural society, as well as the negative experiences students’ bear at home that affect their school and social behaviour. With an equal representation of students, teachers and school counsellors in her novel, Phillips expresses the conflicts of getting through to students and identifying challenges from each role within the schools.

'I'm scared of my own autistic child' - BBC News
Parents struggling to cope with their violent autistic children are not being properly supported by local authorities, the National Autistic Society has told us.
BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme's reporter Noel Phillips has been to meet families affected.
The Local Government Association says while "councils are working hard to make sure children with autism and other special needs get access to the support they need... they have been put in an impossible situation due to increasing demand and historic underfunding".

Rise to the challenge Time is a ticking, so you'd better start linking Energies surging, vision is blurring Maybe you're feeling you're not up to scratch Maybe you're feeling that now you've met your match You find it hard to know where to begin When discontent is spreading its wings Stand by your belief and have faith in this sound You know that you can always turn it around Feel the rhythm and its healing remedy Listen to the sweet melody Feel the rhythm and its healing remedy Rise to the challenge Keep risin', you know we rinse on Turn negative to positive with a natural vibe Believe in yourself and rinse out the mind The tongue and the hand moving different directions Turn this disconnection into interconnection Feel the rhythm and its healing remedy Listen to the sweet melody Feel the rhythm and its healing remedy Rise to the challenge How can you live your life with no enthusiasm Or else you fall so deep Rearrange all the thoughts you like to hold back Jump across the track
