So many EXCELLENT events at The Wheeler Centre in May - I'll be chatting with Dhonielle Clayton, COO of We Need Diverse Books and best-selling author of 'The Belles' - get in quick, it's FREE but bookings are a must! 👍🏽👍🏽 . . . #Repost @wheelercentre (@get_repost) ・・・ Drawn to writers with chemistry and stories that pop? Come May, you’ll be in your element. Mayhem is on the way. ⁣ ⁣ Meet Kamila Shamsie, Antony Beevor, Andrew Sean Greer, Rachel Kushner, Alexander Chee, Rebecca Traister, Simon Schama, Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, Meg Wolitzer, Max Porter, Jenny Erpenbeck, Paul Holdengräber, Susan Orlean, Mary Norris, Paula Saunders, Dhonielle Clayton, Akala and Jill Abramson.⁣ We’re not going to lie – there will be horror stories. Tales of catastrophic hubris, of crime and punishment and of slippery silences. But there will be love stories – quite a few – and funny stories, too.⁣ ⁣ We’ll talk to authors who are re-writing the literary rules. And we’ll bring you writers who fuse fiction with geopolitics; wrestling with questions of terror and exile. Pick from rising stars, powerhouses, writer’s writers, Pulitzer-winners, polemicists, veteran journalists and master conversationalists. To celebrate the release of this series, we’re offering our first round of Mayhem tickets at 25% off – so you can enjoy a month brimming with conversation. Limited discount bookings available from 7pm Thursday 14 March through to midnight Sunday 17 March … or until they’re gone! Bookings are open – hit the link in our profile.

My first ever book launch was SIX YEARS ago today! I was terrified no one would come, no one would read the book, and that I was going to injure myself with my new giant heels - apart from a few blisters, turns out all was right with the world...😁😁😁 . . . #ampersandprize #hardiegrantegmont #lifeinouterspace #littlebookroom #LOVEOZYA #throwbackthursday #tbt #yawriting #yabooks

Amazing opportunity for high-school-aged fiction and non-fiction writers, with publishing opportinities AND cash prizes! Check out: killyourdarlings.com.au . . . Kill Your Darlings is excited to launch our inaugural KYD School Writing Prize, which is designed to develop, mentor, edit and publish the work of two writers from Australian secondary schools. We’re seeking entries of up to 1500 words in the categories of fiction and non-fiction, with students responding to a current social or political issue. The two winners will receive a $500 cash prize, editorial support and publication in KYD. The award will be judged by KYD‘s publishing director and author Rebecca Starford, along with award-winning author and poet Maxine Beneba Clarke. ‘KYD was incredibly inspired by the recent climate protests led by secondary school students all over the country,’ Starford says. ‘We want to hear more from students about the issues that concern them. We are delighted to offer young emerging writers a publishing voice and a professional publishing platform with the KYD School Writing Prize.’ Entries for the 2019 School Writing Prize open on 23 April and close on 28 June, with the winners to be announced at a special event in August 2019 #kyd #studentwriters #writingcompetition #writingprize
