Australian authors: Guess what opens for applications today? The EMDG Grant program! Have you ever applied for a creative, SME or book marketing grant before? I've been working with Amra Pajalic on a new course all about how to successfully find & apply.

Authors, do you spend more than 50% of your work time on writing and publishing activities? If you're an independent author who does, the Alliance of Independent Authors is running a survey so they will be able to compare traditionally published author earnings to indie author earnings. The survey is also designed to spot the factors that most affect author income, the learnings from which will help indie authors optimise earnings in the years ahead. Please share.

To participate in the ALLi survey, head to:

Hey Y'all!

Mastodon has been great. I've had the chance to really interact. I didn't achieve what I'd hoped with #NaNoWriMo BUT I did get more going than I had before, so I consider that a win. Please keep posting - I love meeting you and learning from you. I hope I have something to offer you as well ❤️ 📚 ✏️ 🖋️ ⌨️

In good news for writers, there's a thriving independent publishing scene in Australia of small yet mighty publishers such as Affirm, Black Inc , Brio Books, Fremantle Press, Giramondo, Griffith Review, Hardie Grant, Puncher & Wattmann, Scribe and more. Nov 24-26 the Small Press Network (SPN), of which these publishers are members, is running the annual Independent Publishing Conference. There will be some truly useful presentations/statistics/forecasts/workshops across the 3 days and you can attend online or in person at The Wheeler Centre in Melbourne. On Day 3 I'll be running a workshop on publishing timelines ie: what authors need to do when to successfully bring a book to market. So many great sessions. Check it out. https://smallpressnetwork.com.au/event/independent-publishing-conference-2022/

A week ago I finished reading 'The White Girl' by indigenous Australian author Tony Birch. I cannot get the characters, setting and circumstances out of my head. Such a compelling, compassionate, courageous and beautifully written book. One of my favourite fiction books EVER.
