Dear [FIRSTNAME],
We have a new columnist, Rachel Manship. Her
column is called 'Get Published' and in her own
words, "...I was thinking that for each column, I would write about the publishing opportunities in a different city."
To read more about her and her first piece,
scroll down and you'll find the link to her
column.
Tomorrow, I will send you another email. It
contains information about a book which I feel
you'll benefit from, especially if you're
interested in publishing options. So please keep
an eye out for that email.

10 Steps to Keeping an On-going Journal
Where do comedians,
novelists, and playwrights get the raw material for their writings? From life,
of course! Writers know that the anecdotes of the day, conversations overheard,
and experiences, feelings, and subtleties of a moment may be the seeds of a
short story, or the building blocks of a novel, or the spark for a magazine
article. Keeping a journal keeps all these important morsels handy and ready to
use when the appropriate time appears.

People are most important - interview with Jodi Webb
Excerpts ...
Jodi:
...My first day of work at a newspaper a co-worker told me “Just remember, no one reads the bylines except your mother.” It’s true. So some of the most memorable pieces for me are ones where people actually took the time to write a letter or email and tell me they liked the piece. The most memorable ones for me were the ones that were memorable for my readers. But those contacts with readers are few and far between!

 Published in Perth
Excerpts ...
I honestly believe that Perth gets a bad rap from the rest of Australia. I have lived in Perth for almost eight years now and am tired of hearing comparisons to the more established eastern states of Sydney and Melbourne. Out of curiosities sake, I took a trip to Sydney in my previous uni holidays just to see what all the fuss was about. I was expecting London nightlife, New York traffic and Parisian shopping. Instead of the cosmopolitan paradise I was told to expect, I was disappointed with concrete jungles, derelict houses and park benches loaded with the homeless and the hopeless. Needless to say, I was far from impressed.

PAYING MARKETS FOR STORYTELLERS |
 African American Literary Journals
Excerpts ...
Although I don't live in the United States, I have been given an impression of American culture from television, movies, the Internet and so on. It is clear to an outsider that African Americans have had a large influence over American culture. Musically there's rap music, blues, jazz, soul etc. In television you've got Oprah Winfrey. Movies you've had blaxploitation, Spike Lee, actors like Will Smith, Morgan Freeman, Samuel L Jackson and so on. When it comes to literature, the contributions of black Americans is not so obvious to the outside observer, so I decided to take a closer look

Cancer's Child
Excerpts ...
Everyone always says that Cancer’s children are moody and they grow up to be moody adults. I have to disagree. All of the Cancers that I have ever met were rather stable emotionally speaking. They can be a bit volatile when they feel attacked and they are like a lioness protecting those they love, but they are not moody while doing so. They are not as short-tempered as an Aries and not as long-tempered as a Taurus. They are not as sensitive as a Pisces and not as insensitive as a Sagittarius.

The Curious Incident of The Dog in the Night-Time
by Mark Haddon
Excerpts
... For me, this novel is a cross between a murder-mystery novel and a literary
one. For one, the plot of this story is very much in the style of a whodunit –
throughout, the reader is kept guessing about the answer to the question, “Who
murdered this dog?” All the clues are placed in the appropriate places in the
novel, the characters are defined and dialogue genuine. And yet, the style of
writing is so unique:...

With two
self-published novels under his belt (one of which was shortlisted for
the Portico Literary Prize) Bill Keeth recently self-published
Write It Self-Publish It Sell It ISBN 978 0 9558863 0 0 in
response to other writers’ enquiries as to what exactly is entailed in
taking the self-publishing route.
In this robustly written testament
to his achievement, the author encourages the reader to avoid the
pitfalls and emulate his personal success, relating, often in humorous
fashion, how he himself wrote, self-published and marketed his books
(2,000 copies and counting!) via book launches, booksignings and
presentations, in addition to placing them with the major bookstores and
public libraries
