Australian Writers’ Centre- Kids’ Books Review Unpublished Picture Book Award & How to Write a Chick-Lit Novel & Many Writing Courses

Having trouble viewing this? View in your browser.   Home Sydney Melbourne Online Courses Contact Us 23 May 2013 Sydney: (02) 9929 0088 Hi Randy, In this issue TIP: Alright versus all right Kids’ Books Review Unpublished Picture Book Award TIP: How to avoid a run-on sentence Plan ahead – How to Write a Chick-Lit Novel WEBPICK: Judging Luhrmann’s Gatsby I really wish I could clone myself this week. That’s because the Sydney Writers’ Festival and the Emerging Writers’ Festival in Melbourne are both on at the same time. They’re both a wonderful celebration of all things writing. I’m keen to catch my favourite authors and to discover some new voices from both festivals (and yes, we’ll be at bits of both!). I love the world of creative writing. You can get lost in your story and characters – there is nothing limiting you except your imagination. However, there are still valuable techniques you can learn about plot, structure and dialogue; techniques that will only make your storytelling better. If you want to immerse yourself in a world of Creative Writing, you’ll enjoy our intensive weekend course. You’ll discover how to: Kick-start the creative writing process Tap into your imagination to let the ideas flow Draw from everyday experiences and memories Examine the many different types of creative writing Build a framework – giving structure to your writing Create memorable characters and bring dialogue to life and MUCH more!       TIP: Alright versus all right Do you say “I’m alright” or “I’m all right”? This is a tricky one because it’s not simply a matter of writers confusing two similar words. The problem here is that the use of alright has been disputed for many years by grammarians who say that alright as one word is never correct.   As often happens in English, however, alright is slowly gaining acceptance. The Macquarie Dictionary lists it but does add the caveat that some editors don’t like it. The Oxford Dictionary Online doesn’t give alright its own definition, but does offer it as an alternative to all right.   So, which should you use? Is it ever okay to use alright? If you’re not sure you should first check your style guide (if you have one). The Fairfax Style Guide insists on the two word form, all right. Here’s what our Australian edition of English Grammar for Dummies suggests:   If someone asks you how you went in your test and you say (with a smile) that you got it all right (you didn’t make any mistakes) they’ll pat you on the back and congratulate you. If you say (glumly) that it went alright, they’ll know that it was really a bit of a disaster. So go ahead and use alright with your friends, but remember that you shouldn’t use it if any sticklers are going to read what you’ve written. Kids’ Books Review Unpublished Picture Book Award The Kids’ Book Review, the children’s literature and book review site, has launched its annual Unpublished Picture Book Award and is seeking picture book submissions. The winner will receive $300, a manuscript appraisal and the chance to have their work viewed by Sue Whiting, Publishing Manager at Walker Books! Two runners-up will win $100 each, and a short manuscript appraisal. While there’s no guarantee the winner will be published, this is a unique opportunity to get your manuscript seen by the editor of one of Australia’s leading kids’ book publishers. There’s more information on the submission details on the Kids’ Book Review website. Make sure you read them carefully before sending your entry. Entries close on Monday 17 June 2013. TIP: How to avoid a run-on sentence What’s a run-on sentence? That’s a sentence with more than one complete idea, or clause, in it. In other words, it’s more than one sentence “run together”. Often a run-on sentence is joined by a comma (creating a comma splice, which we covered in our newsletter on 18 April) but occasionally writers will use no punctuation at all. For example: I can’t stay my dog needs to be walked or They went for a walk in the bush kangaroos hopped by them. To correct them, you simply need to insert the correct punctuation. For instance, the first example would work better with a conjunction: I can’t stay because my dog needs to be walked. While the second sentence would benefit from being split into two sentences: They went for a walk in the bush. Kangaroos hopped by them.   Build Your Profile Using Twitter How can you build your online profile with just 140 characters? Twitter guru and author Kerri Sackville will show you how. In this two-hour seminar she’ll demystify this powerful social media tool and show you how you can boost your followers and connect with a new audience.

Chances are if you’re doing it, there’s an article in it. Learning the art of writing feature articles for newspapers and magazines could be a way for you to turn your interests into a freelance writing career. During this weekend intensive course you’ll learn what editors want, how to research your story, where to find inspiration and, most importantly, how to sell your articles. Weekend intensive course on Saturday 1 & Sunday 2 June 2013 Time: 10.00 am – 4.00 pm Cost: $395  Writing Books for Children and Young Adults Learn to unlock the imagination of young readers in our five-week Writing Books for Children and Young Adults course. Kids’ books expert, Judith Ridge, will show you how to write engaging fiction for readers over the age of 8. You’ll learn how to create convincing characters and believable dialogue, how to structure your story, and how to get your story published. Five-week course starting Wednesday 5 June 2013 Time: 6.30 pm – 8.30 pm Cost: $395 Professional Business Writing Thursday 30 May 2013 Only 3 places left!     Plan ahead – How to Write a Chick-Lit Novel   If you’re a fan of authors such as Sophie Kinsella, Marian Keyes and Helen Fielding, then you already know the appeal of good chick-lit. So why not join us to find out how you could be writing it! Join Australian author Lisa Heidke for our two-day How to Write a Chick-Lit Novel course. She’s written four best-selling chick-lit novels including Stella Makes Good and Claudia’s Big Break, so who better to teach you how to write for this growing genre. You’ll learn all about the chick-lit market and why it’s so popular and how to craft your own chick-lit manuscript. By the end of this two-day course, you’ll be well on your way to writing your own chick-lit novel.     Just for fun Who hasn’t done this?   This week on Writing Bar The Sydney Writers’ Festival was launched this week and we were there for a captivating opening address by renowned storyteller, Daniel Morden. In fact, we’ll be there all week! We’re interviewing authors and reporting from as many sessions as we can squeeze in, so keep an eye on Writing Bar for updates. Also on Writing Bar this week we spoke to Hannah Richell about her latest novel, The Shadow Year; Peter Baines about the life-changing journey he recounts in his memoir, Hands Across the Water; and freelance writer, Bianca Nogrady. WEBPICK: Judging Luhrmann’s Gatsby So film critics haven’t been blown away by Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby, but what about those people who’ve studied Fitzgerald’s masterpiece, the scholars of American literature?   Here five literature scholars give their take on the film, and the results are a little surprising. Sara Kosiba, the program director of the 12th International F. Scott Fitzgerald Conference, says the film “was not nearly the potential nightmare I envisioned.” Okay, so it’s not glowing praise, but she and the other scholars reviewing the film all agreed the performances were outstanding and some have even called this the best of all the adaptations of The Great Gatsby.   Don’t believe me? Check out all the reviews here.   “It’s a strange world of language in which skating on thin ice can get you into hot water.” Words of wisdom from – Franklin P.

THE WRITERS STUDIO- IMITATION, CONSCIOUS IMITATION, IS ONE OF THE GREAT METHODS & Writing Courses

THE WRITERS STUDIO- IMITATION, CONSCIOUS IMITATION, IS ONE OF THE GREAT METHODS & Writing Courses

“Celebrating 26 years of helping writers reach their potential”

>> “IMITATION, CONSCIOUS IMITATION, IS ONE OF THE GREAT METHODS, perhaps THE method of learning to write….The final triumph is what the language does, not what the poet can do.” Theodore Roethke.

>> “THE WRITERS STUDIO BROUGHT ME BACK FROM THE CREATIVE DEAD.”

“Therese Eiben, my first instructor and former editor of Poets & Writers magazine, instilled the one reading habit that has had the most influence on me: seek out the limestone. Since writers are coming into the Studio with drastically different life experiences, ages, and expectations (unlike a traditional MFA program), I found a great deal of diversity in the voices I was hearing. I was also trained by Joel Hinman and Cynthia Weiner, two wonderful writers and instructors who taught me how to create persona narrators, masks, for each of my narrators….And the poet/instructor Peter Krass provided invaluable feedback in my attempts to separate tone from mood…. The Studio’s weekly deadlines provided me with both structure and discipline in an encouraging, non-pretentious environment. And that last element was key. Even though I took my courses live in NYC, I found that the students, instructors, and administrators were extremely down-to-earth, plain personable.” – Jamez Chang, Writers Studio’s former student. Read the full interview in Counterexamplepoetics.com 

>> EXERCISES TURNED INTO PUBLICATIONS AND PUSHCART PRIZES: 

* Taymiya Zaman‘s short story “Thirst,” which received the Third Prize in Narrative Magazine‘s Fall 2012 Short Story Contest, will appear in the Pushcart Prize 2014 anthology. Taymiya is a student in the San Francisco Workshops, She wrote “Thirst” as an exercise in last summer’s beginning workshop and is a firm believer in the Writers Studio’s method. * Christina Frei’s “The Botanist” (which started as an exercise in Peter Krass’ class) has also been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Her poem “Pierre” was accepted by the Canadian journal, Sterling. * Three poems by Jo Ann Baldinger were recently accepted for publication: “Mazurkas” (Monarch Review), “Swallows” (White Whale), and “Eve” (Burningword). All the poems began in Lisa Bellamy’s Online Advanced Poetry workshop. * Writer’s Studio alumnus, Karen Hildebrand, has a play, “The Old In and Out” running June 14, 15, 21 and 22 at Stage Left Studio in Manhattan. The play is based on her poetry, with some of the pieces started in Philip Schultz’s master class. For more info, click here. MORE SUCCESS STORIES FROM OUR STUDENTS.
