Upcoming Events
Mark Brandi’s novel Wimmera was an outstanding debut and I can’t wait to talk about his new book The Rip.
Join me in conversation with literary legend Melina Marchetta to talk about her new book for adults, The Place on Dalhousie.
What’s the difference between commercial fiction and literary fiction? Does one really make more money? Is there a secret formula for commercial writing success? Join me as I discuss all this and more with rising superstar Minnie Dark, best-selling author Kim Wilkins and local author Katie Rowney.
I’m beyond excited to be in conversation with the 2019 Stella prize winner Vicki Laveau-Harvie about her memoir The Erratics which has been described as dark, sharp, blackly funny and powerful. Book now as this event will be sure to sell out!
You’ve typed ‘The End’ and you’re ready to submit. What next? How do you pitch your manuscript to a publisher or agent to ensure the best chance of success? How can you take advantage of awards and competitions? Why is networking in your writing community so important? (and how do you do it?) Practical aspects: writing exercises and discussion; cover letter; synopsis; useful tips and industry contacts; receiving rejection; how to be a good literary citizen.
