Another busy week at the Centre! Earlier this week, I facilitated an event run by the City of Sydney on digital marketing strategies. That’s a fancy way of saying “online marketing” and it’s a topic that I’m very passionate about. I truly believe that people are increasingly going online to look for answers – about products to buy, which books to read, where to eat, everything! If you are an author, business owner, or anyone who wants to build a profile, without a strong online presence your competitors are going to get the better of you.
It’s more than having a website or a blog. That’s simply not enough. You need to be smart about your online presence. It’s not hard. You just need to follow the right guidelines. That’s why I’m so excited about our course “Build Your Online Profile” with Tristan Bancks. This is a wonderfully practical five-week course that will equip you with what you need to build an online presence.
Build Your Online Profile with Tristan Bancks
When: Mondays starting Monday 19 July for five weeks
Time: 6.30 – 8.30pm
Cost: $395

TIP: Writing numbers
We often receive queries about how to write numbers so we thought we'd set the record straight here. The first thing to note is that there is no hard and fast rule, but there are certain conventions that people choose to adopt. Here is the usual guideline adopted by most newspapers and corporations:When writing numbers one to nine, you spell out the number.
One, two, three and so on.
When writing numbers 10 and above, you use the digits.
10, 25, 136, 780 and so on.
When starting a sentence with a number, always spell it out.
‘Twelve-year-old dog Rambo used to live at Doggie Rescue before coming to the Sydney Writers' Centre.’
‘Thirty teenagers were injured when a balcony collapsed in Sydney's northern suburbs on the weekend.’
However, the above rules may be over-ridden by your company's house style guide. Some organisations, particularly those that communicate mainly online, prefer all numbers to be written as digits. Your organisation's house style should also outline how to write really big numbers like 26 million. If you don't have a style guide to follow, the usual convention is:
7 million, not 7,000,000
7.24 million, not 7,240,000
Below 1 million: 230,000, not 0.23 million
Happy numbering!
Get your articles published!
Our online courses have certainly gone international – this week we welcomed our first student living in China – a former Queenslander who has relocated! This year we’ve also had students join us from Japan, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic. But even if you’re in Sydney, you can also learn the essentials of feature writing from your own home.
Online Feature Writing will show you how to write great articles, and get them published. There’s now no reason why you shouldn't get paid to write!
This course will show you:
And here’s what our most recent participants had to say about the course:
‘I am currently exploring different types of writing to find what I like best and this has given me a very good intro to feature writing and ideas of where I could go with it. It was very easy and convenient, doing the course this way is the only option for me because of distance so it's great to have the opportunity to do it online, I hope more courses are made available soon!’
- Gaye Nilson
‘For professionalism, relevance and sheer enjoyment, this course was streets ahead of any other I've done online -- and I've done a few. The information Valerie gave us in the first module alone was enough to justify the course fee. It was wonderful to get feedback from someone who's so obviously at the top of her game. I live in a remote part of Australia. If the course hadn't been offered online, I would have missed out on one of the most worthwhile professional development courses I've ever done.’

Writers wanted for Bookisode
The publishing world is all a-buzz with the advent of e-readers. While they’ve been a bit slow to catch on here in Australia, the release of the iPad should see e-readers becoming more prevalent – and that means more apps for reading on your reader.
One app that we’re particularly excited about is Bookisode. It’s a little different to the usual digitised book. Bookisode is like a tv series – each week a new episode, or chapter, of a story is released. There are already a number of bookisodes in the pipeline and the developers of this app are hoping to have the ipad version ready to go in late July.
Now, this is where you come in. Bookisode needs stories – that means they need writers! If you’re interested in developing a series for Bookisode, and would like to get paid a commission for your work, contact submissions@thebookisode.com for more
information. And let us know how you go!
Take your writing on holiday
Has the chilly weather got you thinking about going on holidays? What if you could make money from your travel by writing about it? If you’re interested in travel writing, or you’ve done our feature writing course and you want to learn more about writing travel articles, this seminar is a great introduction to the industry.
The seminar will give you an overview of:
Here’s what some recent participants had to say about the seminar:
‘Packed with excellent content. You can immedialty begin honing your skills based simply on the information provided. Jeff knows his subject and is generous in sharing his knowlegde. I have a step by step plan on how I could be a travel writer. In addition I was able to clearly identify my niche and how I would write for that market.’
- Sharyn Reesby
‘Great seminar. I was taking this seminar as a trial to see if I would like it enough to take a longer course at Sydney Writers' Centre. It was terrific and I am ready to take a longer course!!! [Geoff was an] excellent instructor. He really helped generate ideas on how to get published. This was beneficial information to its fullest.’
- Anna Atkinson

How to write great web copy
What’s one of the most essential elements of a great website? Good writing. It doesn’t matter how good your website looks, if the written content isn’t clear and engaging, it won’t capture your audience.
Writing for the web is very different to writing for print, and our one-day seminar will show you why. You’ll learn how to write scannable copy that conveys your message online.
This practical seminar covers:
Here’s what some of our most recent participants said about this seminar:
‘The presenter was knowledgeable, approachable, and the atmosphere was comfortable. It made me think about the difference between writing for hard copy and for the web. I will put what I've learned in to practice when trying to capture my readers' attention and provide simple, concise information.’
- Romany Malesevic
‘Seeing real world examples of design, content and styles – I loved the applied examples reinforced by fast exercises. It was great having lots of online demos of sites. The handouts are very comprehensive with lots of references and links to be explored outside the seminar. I really enjoyed learning about SEO tips. I can easily apply knowledge to project work. Nicely complements my Cert IV in website design at TAFE and I recommended Grant to my course coordinator.’
- Nicole Miller

WORDWISE: Poll
You know an election is imminent when politicians really start to pay attention to the polls. These surveys of public opinion have the ability to cause either great angst or jubilation among politicians on both sides.
Interestingly, the word ‘poll’ actually comes from the Middle English word for ‘the hair on top of the head’. In the age before phone polling, votes were taken by counting the number of people in a crowd. From a high position, those counting could only see the tops of most people’s heads, so they were literally counting the polle – or the hair on the tops of their heads.
And that’s where the modern word 'poll' comes from. It’s actually more appropriate than you might think – I’m sure the latest polls are causing more than a few people to lose some of their hair!
WEBPICK: your first page
Writers well know how important it is to grab a reader’s attention from the very first page. So, if you had a chance to get feedback on your first page only, why wouldn’t you? Well, there’s now a place where you can do just that. Writer and teacher Peter Selgin has established ‘your first page’, a place where budding novelists can get feedback on that all-important introduction to their book.
All you need to do is email your first page only (or up to 350 words) to Peter, and if your work is selected, he’ll give you constructive and comprehensive feedback on that page. If you’re not ready to submit something yourself, check out the feedback that’s already on his blog – it’s insightful and surely useful for many writers.
