Interesting looking workshop weekend for writers

If gravity were to reverse...

medieval doodles by a boy learning the Russian alphabet. 

Site of a local writer of short stories and flash fiction.

new, unique collection of interviews with some of the most significant Tribal Elders of Australian publishing and writing.

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.

American markets for children's magazines

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.

Good overview of how we as fiction writers could apply 'write what you know'. Practical. 

Home page of Canadian literary magazine

Interesting if you like keeping an eye out for what is happening in the international writing world.

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.

Here's the Delanceyplace snippet I mentioned about soldiers.

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.

Handy explanation of the basics of differing spellings in Britain and America

Helpful list if you're aiming to write for the US market and want to check vocab usage. New Zealand English, but many words like Australian vocab.

My favorite dictionary. You have to pay to use it.

I keep copies of all my writing on this Cloud site.
