Take a story by a writer you really, really admire - preferably a short short story that won't take for ever to reproduce. Analyze it in minute detail: from word choice to sentence length. Now, choose a different setting and different characters with different dreams from that of the originals, and write a copycat story, following the exact structure and tone of the original.
New Australian publisher of short stories and novellas. Must be by a Brisbane writer or have some connection to Brisbane. Pays $10 for a story and wants all world-wide rights for a year after the anthology is published, then rights revert to the author.
This is the home site for AWM. Each Wednesday night they invite people to write for an hour together, via Facebook. I think you don't need to be a member to join in.
This is the site I mentioned last week that sends you a random piece out of a book each day. Non-fiction. Good for ideas to write about, or just interesting.
American.
Site listing huge number of writing opportunities. Used to be free but recently became necessary to pay to join. Weighted towards the US, but does list Australian opportunities, such as anthologies. Basically world wide publishing opportunities.
