I'm writing this newsletter from Ubud in Bali. Later today, I'm meeting with our friends at the Ubud Writers' Festival – yes we have some fabulous things planned for those who are coming to our Writing in Bali retreat this year (which is booked out). But I'm already planning for 2011 and you can register your interest here.I've also hung out with Ketut Liyer, the medicine man featured in Elizabeth Gilbert's bestselling book "Eat, Pray, Love". No doubt I'll write an article about that experience soon!
One of the great things about being a freelance writer is that you can do your work from anywhere as long as you have a laptop and internet access. I've already filed two stories to The Sydney Morning Herald this week, all the way from over here. It's a wonderful, portable career.
Our Perfecting Your Pitch presenter Sue White knows just how portable this career is. She's constantly travelling to exotic places and filing stories from around the world. This week, I studied the information Sue is presenting in the upcoming Perfecting Your Pitch course and, I have to say, I'm blown away. The tips are invaluable and she has secured the exclusive advice of many editors – just for this course. Plus she will be sharing her own tips on how she has become such a successful freelance writer, right down to sample pitches and the script you should use when dealing with editors.
Perfecting Your Pitch with Sue White
When: Tuesdays 11 & 18 May 2010
Time: 6.30 – 8.30pm

TIP: Hunker or bunker?
So, do you hunker down or bunker down? Surprisingly, a lot of people get this wrong. According to Mighty Red Pen (see this week’s Webpick), even Stephanie Meyer, author of the Twilight series, has gotten the two confused.
On it’s own, hunker is a verb meaning to squat or to hunch. To ‘hunker down’ means to hide, hide out or take shelter. For example:
‘It’s getting cold outside so I’m going to hunker down and keep warm.’
‘Bunker’ is a noun, meaning a bin or compartment; a sand trap or dugout; or a protective embankment. You cannot ‘bunker down’ – it’s simply not possible!
So when Stephanie Meyer wrote, ‘The animals must be bunkering down.’ in New Moon, she actually meant ‘hunkering down’.
Online Feature Writing starts soon!
If you’ve ever dreamed of writing for your favourite magazine, or for newspapers, this is your chance to achieve it! Our next online feature writing course starts soon, and this is where you’ll learn how to write great articles, and get them published.
The best thing about this course? You can do it from wherever you are, whenever suits you!
The course will teach you about:
Here’s what some of our most recent participants had to say about the course:
‘The course is convenient, interesting, gives you practical tips and is easy to understand. Valerie is very clear about what she talks about and the course is structured so everything flows from one topic to the next. Being a single parent it is very convenient as I can tune into the audio files in the evenings.’
- Michelle Falzon
‘Valerie's expertise and her ability to present that in an easy to follow manner, was the backbone of the experience. I also found the interview experience challenging, positive and a very affirming exercise. I believe I am now well equipped to start out in the world of freelance writing. I know that I have much to learn but the course has provided an insider's knowledge and guidelines that have given me the confidence needed to believe that I can make a mark in this field. The rest is now up to me.’

More Student Success
We’ve received some great news from three of our former students this week.
First, Maraya Bell, who completed our Online Feature Writing course in 2009, has had her first article accepted by Cosmo Magazine. Congratulations Maraya! We look forward to reading your article when the June edition is released.
Another feature writing success story is Owen Tilley. His profile on a Manly youth worker has been published in the Manly Daily. This is his first published article, and we’re sure there are many more to come. Congratulations Owen!
Finally, more excellent publishing news from Katie Whiffen. She did our book publishing and self-publishing seminars in 2009, and this year she has self-published her first book – Great Dog Walks. Congratulations Katie! The book and the website look great.
Here’s what Katie had to say when she sent us her good news:
‘I absolutely loved coming home from my “normal” job and sitting down to write every night to complete the book (although actually doing all the walks was the most fun!). The framework that the Sydney Writers’ Centre course provided was exactly what I needed to understand the process of self-publishing, and to give me the confidence and resources to move beyond the “one day I’m gunna...” stage that every would-be writer experiences!
I recommend SWC to everyone I know who even thinks they have a story they want to tell. Your courses deliver above expectations, and from the people I have sent your way, are always consistent. My next aim (aside from writing two more in the Great Dogs series) is to undertake your online creative writing course.’
Write inspiring books for children
Do you have stories for children that you’d like to see published? The most successful kids’ books are engaging and inspiring, and a joy for children to read. Our Writing Books for Children and Young Adults will give you valuable insight into the world of kids’ book publishing. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to write books children want to read!
This course will cover:
And now, you have the option of learning face-to-face in our classroom in Milsons Point, or online! So there’s no reason why you can’t join us for this excellent course.
Here’s what some recent participants had to say about the course:
‘The people and the activities - it was a great experience all round and extremely helpful. I have heaps of information now to help me in my schooling work. The class has given me an excellent sense of direction, it’s fantastic.’
- Liam O’Leary
‘Judith is a fantastic presenter, enthusiastic and passionate about childrens' literature. You can't help but get caught up in her enthusiasm.’
- Germaine Leece
This course is presented by Judith Ridge. Judith Ridge is well-known in Australia and internationally for her involvement with writing for children. Judith has worked with the Children's Book Council, as an editor at ABC Children's Books and the NSW School Magazine and freelances as an editor for Random House.

Wordstorm: NT Writers’ Festival
If you’re lucky enough to live in the warmer climes of the Northern Territory, make sure you don’t miss out on Wordstorm – The Festival of Australasian Writing. The festival will be held in Darwin from Thursday 13 to Sunday 16 May 2010 and will feature writers from Australia and the Asia Pacific region, including writers from Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Timor.
Some of Australia’s most well known writers will be there – Germaine Greer, Tim Flannery, Nick Earls, and Morris Gleitzman, to name just a few. There will also be a strong contingent of Indigenous writers and artists, including author and opera singer Deborah Cheetham, and poet Lionel Fogarty.
Tickets are on sale now and start at $70 for a one-day pass. You can download the full program and purchase tickets from the NT Writers’ Centre.
WEBPICK: Mighty Red Pen
You might already have guessed what this one’s about… it’s the blog of a writer and editor based in Boston who focuses on the finer, and sometimes not so fine, points of grammar. Many posts feature errors she’s found in newspapers, novels, or street signs. There are also some interesting posts on language and how it changes.
Some of her posts are very funny – check out the post on a very unfortunate typo in one Australian publisher’s latest cookbook.

The golden rules of writing for the web
Writing for the web is very different to writing for print. You need to write clear and concise content that will give your readers (and customers) the information they want, quickly.

Here’s what some recent participants had to say about the seminar:
‘Grant made everything very clear and related it directly to working situations. I have started my own music blog and am applying for web content jobs with the confidence of knowing what the techincal aspects of the job will involve.’

Did you know?
Asyndeton and Polysyndeton
Did you know that ‘I came, I saw, I conquered’ is an asyndeton?
The word asyndeton comes from the Greek for ‘unconnected’ and describes the joining together of two or more complete sentences without using a conjunction, such as ‘and’ or ‘but’.
The opposite of asyndeton is polysyndeton. This describes the use of multiple conjunctions where they’re not necessarily needed. An example is, ‘he ran and jumped and danced for joy.’
