It's been a busy week over here. We have so many fabulous courses running and it's great meeting with so many people in the Sydney Writers' Centre community. I've also been busy personally and, last night, I was going through some files at home when I stumbled upon some old photos from the days when I was interviewing celebrities and working in magazines. It was surreal looking at my old diary to see that I had appointments with Claudia Schiffer, Christian Slater and Andrew Shue - all in one week!Geeez, remember the days when Melrose Place was watched by everyone? Anyhow, I thought these pics (of Christian and Andrew) might amuse you! I'm also pleased that many of our Feature Writing students have also been able to meet artists they admire. (And if you have the photos, send them in. I'd love to see them.) When you
write feature articles for magazines and newspapers, you get to meet some amazing people. The celebs are great fun but, for me, the highlight is meeting ordinary people with extraordinary stories. I find people endlessly fascinating and, as a freelance feature writer, you have a great excuse to ask lots of questions and learn about their lives.Here’s what some recent participants had to say about the course:
"I enjoyed the wealth of knowledge that Valerie has, and her willingness to share. Valerie has a straight forward approach, so there is little room for wondering where you stand! The online delivery was fantastic. The best thing is being able to do it when it suited me. I have three kids and a husband who does rotating shift work, so attending in person is near impossible, but this has afforded me the wonderful opportunity of learning as much as I have."
- Diana Taylor
"The presentation and content of the course were fantastic! I couldn't fault anything. It was as though Valerie was in my study teaching me face to face. Her style was friendly and each lesson was relevant and brought to life with interesting case studies. I learnt so much and am looking forward to the next online course. I just wish there were more online courses available!"
- Silvana Wiggins
I love taking students on their first steps in their feature writing journey. If you want to see your article published in magazines and newspapers our next online course starts soon.

TIP: Loose and Lose
It’s amazing how many times I see this error in writing. Twitterers, bloggers, journalists – I’ve seen all of them confuse the words ‘loose’ and ‘lose’.
‘Loose’ means to be free from anything that binds or restrains, or to be lax. For example:
Inspire young readers – Writing Books for Children
If you’re writing for children and young adults, you need to be able to engage them, to keep them interested, and inspire a love of reading. Our Writing Books for Children course will reveal what it takes to be a successful children’s author, what publishers are looking for, and, most importantly, what kids want to read!
The course will cover:

WriteNow! Competition
It’s often hard to find opportunities for younger writers – courses and competitions are so often targeted at adults. So, it’s great to see the Sydney Writers’ Festival holding a competition specifically for high-school students in years 7, 8 and 9 (in NSW and the ACT only).
Three well-know Australian authors have written ‘Story starters’ for the competition – Melina Marchetta, John Danalis and Anthony Eaton. Students are to read the story starters, then write a 1,000-word story that follows on from one of the starters. The writers of the best entries will win $3,000 book packs for themselves and their school. The winning stories will also be published on the Sydney Writers’ Festival website and the Herald Education website.
Entries close on Thursday 1 April.

It’s amazing how many times I see this error in writing. Twitterers, bloggers, journalists – I’ve seen all of them confuse the words ‘loose’ and ‘lose’. ‘Loose’ means to be free from anything that binds or restrains, or to be lax. For example:
Rambo escaped because his collar was too loose.‘Lose’ means to ‘come to be without’. As in:
Rambo is small, so we need to be careful not to lose him.Don’t confuse the two! They have very different meanings. As in,
If Rambo’s collar is too loose, we may lose him.

DID YOU KNOW?
Have you ever wondered why American and English spellings are so often different? Surprisingly, it’s all the fault of dictionaries. Yep, those definitive authorities on spelling and usage are actually the reason we spell so many words differently to Americans.
In 1755, Englishman Samuel Johnson published his Dictionary of the English Language. Before then, there was no standardisation in spelling in either America or England. Johnson’s dictionary changed that, and was the precursor to the Oxford English Dictionary, which was published 150 years later.
But in 1828, an American scholar by the name of Noah Webster, published his own dictionary – An American Dictionary of the English Language. Webster didn’t agree with many of Johnson’s spellings. He believed that words should be pronounced the way they look and that English rules were too complex. So, ‘colour’ became ‘color’, ‘organise’ became ‘organize’, and many more differences developed.
