It's Sydney Writers' Festival fever this week and we have been flat out at events. So many authors, so many brilliant ideas, such great writing! However, one of the most overlooked aspects of good writing is ensuring you have the right grammar and punctuation.And you don't even have to be a world class author like the amazing writers here at the Festival. If your grammar and punctuation isn't up to scratch, this could reflect poorly on your professional or creative skills. If you think you need to brush up on your grammar and punctuation, our one-day workshop will help you learn the fundamental rules - once and for all.

When: Wednesday 26 May 2010 (one-day seminar)
Time: 9.00am – 5.00pm

Writing books for kids
Our children’s book writing expert, Judith Ridge, has this week been MC-ing events at the Sydney Writers’ Festival for adult and school aged readers and writers. And judging by her reports to us, kids love books! Many of the authors were treated like rock stars by their adoring audience and it’s obvious that children love the wonderful worlds created by their favourite writers.
If you want to learn the tools that will make you a successful children’s book author, join Judith for her next course – Writing Books for Children and Young Adults. You’ll come away with the confidence and knowledge to get started on your kids book!
The course will cover:
Here’s what recent participant, Robyn Elliott, had to say about the course:
‘I loved the course and truly Judith is a brilliant and enthusiastic teacher ... she is passionate about children's books and has such a huge knowledge of all the different age groups so that she could be speaking of a four year old book of verse and switch to fifteen year old teenage writing with ease as she knew her subject matter... so thank you for your help and advice and thank you to Judith too.’

Student Success – Beck Doyle
Former student Beck Doyle is our latest success story. She completed our Online Feature Writing for Magazines and Newspapers course in February this year, and she's just had an article accepted for publication by Cosmo Bride. Here's what she wrote to us:
I just wanted to let you know Cosmo Bride magazine accepted my "8 Negotiating Tips Every Bride Needs to Know" article! It is slated for publication in the August issue and I've even been paid already. Woohoo!
Thanks heaps for the wonderful practical information in the feature writing course. It was not only amazingly useful for my future freelancing aspirations, but perfectly timed to help secure that Cosmo Bride gig. And it was great that with your advice, I was prepared for the "Oh no, what comes next?" feeling when faced with creating my own invoice, registering an ABN and negotiating rights.
Thanks again for all your help and I'll definitely be doing more Sydney Writers' Centre online courses in future!
Congratulations Beck! We're looking forward to seeing your article in Cosmo Bride in August, and no doubt we'll be seeing more of your articles published in the future.
PAN Submissions
PAN Magazine is a brand new publication that was launched in January this year. It’s a ‘cultural biannual’ that combines features on arts, culture, fashion and music, with literary prose and poetry.
They’re currently looking for original short stories up to 2,000 words long or poems up to 50 lines. That’s up to 2,000 words/50 lines. The editors are keen to read micro-fiction and other short, short works. The theme is open – so you can write about anything you like. You can also pitch your ideas for feature articles.
Story and poem submissions close on Wednesday 30 June 2010.
You can get more details here.
How you can publish yourself!
For many people, a commercial publisher is not necessarily the best way to go. Self-publishing is becoming more and more prevalent, and many writers have had great success taking this route – just ask Sandra Cabot (The Liver Cleansing Diet) or Matthew Reilly (Contest).
If you’re a professional or business owner and want to write a book about what you do, self-publishing is definitely the way to go. It can also be suitable for some non-fiction books and occasionally fiction as well.
It will cover:
Here’s what some recent participants had to say about the seminar:
‘Curious is the best word I can use to describe the reason I enrolled and I was starting from a zero knowledge base on any type of publishing. So I found the entire seminar enjoyable to attend. It's great knowledge to file away and a fabulous base for learning more about the publishing world.’
- Karen Ranga
‘Geoff was totally in command of hs subject, and he packed LOTS of information into a short amount of time. Well done all round.’
- Pamela Thorne
This seminar is presented by Geoff Bartlett, he has worked as a freelance travel writer and photographer for magazines and websites for the last six years. His current areas of focus are the islands of the South Pacific and Asia. He is a regular contributor to Pacific Island Paradises and Asian Paradises.

We received a query recently about whether or not it’s correct to use a hyphen in the following instances:
Melina Marchetta is a Sydney-based author.You hyphenate two words such as “Sydney-based” or “Paris-based” because together they become “compound adjectives”. This means they operate as a single unit and describe the noun that follows.
Melina Marchetta operates from her Sydney base.
The diplomat accepted a Paris-based role.
The diplomat travels a lot but works mainly from his base in Paris.

Book giveaway – Let the Dead Lie by Malla Nunn
Malla Nunn is an Australian author, screenwriter and director, and we recently got to chat to her about her writing journey for our podcast series.
Her latest book, Let the Dead Lie, is the second in her Detective Emmanuel Cooper series.
Durban, South Africa, 1953. Forced to resign from his position of Detective Sergeant and re-classified as ‘mixed race’ after an incident involving a young black woman, Emmanuel Cooper winds up powerless and alone in the tough coastal city of Durban, mixing labouring with surveillance work for his old boss. Major van Niekerk. Patrolling the freight yards one night, he stumbles upon the body of a young white boy and the detective in him cannot, or will not, walk away. When two more bodies – this time an older English woman and her maid – are discovered at his boarding house, he unwittingly becomes the prime suspect in a triple murder case.
To solve the crimes and save his own skin, he must place his trust in a mysterious figure who drives a white DeSoto convertible, a Zion Gospel preacher, and the exquisite yet streetwise Lana, who also happens to be Major van Niekerk’s mistress…
We have one copy of Let the Dead Lie to giveaway. If you’d like to win it, just tell us what kind of crime you’d like to solve if you were a detective. Send your answers to courses [at] spindriftmedia [dot] com [dot] au by Friday 28 May 2010 – and don’t forget to include your postal address.

TIP: Buzzword Bingo
I realised it’s a bit cheeky to suggest this as a tip but playing “Buzzword Bingo” can be great fun when you are at an event, corporate function or listening to a speech by a politician. I confess that I have played it from time to time.
If you’re not familiar with “Buzzword Bingo” it’s when you’re listening to a speaker with a penchant for using buzzwords instead of saying anything with real substance. That’s why it’s great during some political speeches!
See how many buzzwords you can find in this passage:
WEBPICK: Neil Cross
We're having a great time at the Sydney writers' festival this week. One panel I really enjoyed was about writing crime - it was surprisingly funny! One member of the panel was Neil Cross, an author and script writer.
His website is jam packed with information about him and his work, as well as some great video trailers and interviews.
You can check out his website here.

“There’s a real disconnect with the market. So, moving forward, we need to ensure we have an agile, media-rich message that can position our core values with the right target audience. It’s about authentically reaching our community and having the flexibility to truly meet their needs. So I suggest we cut our losses, pick the low-hanging fruit and build a framework that’s scalable so that we can leverage our existing brand assets. This should not be done in discrete silos but, holistically, in a company-wide collaborative process.”Bingo! And if you want to fill in an actual bingo card, there’s an iphone application for it called Buzzingo.
