July 2016 Writing Calendar
I decided to put this calendar for the month of June together on a whim. And then people loved it. So this is the monster list of everything even remotely writerly and literary that is going on in Perth and WA in the month of July 2016Â from today onwards. So a few quick answers to questions: Will this list always be on this site? MEAA WA is keen to cross-post/host/something along those lines. This will also be cross-posted at Emily Paull‘s site. And possibly on DWOA once we tweak a few things. Can you compile a list for Victoria and Melbourne? Not at this point – no time to spare.…

So this is the monster list of everything even remotely writerly and literary that is going on in Perth and WA in the month of June from today onwards.

Australia Day Book Giveaway Blog Hop
So the lovely people at Book’d Out kickstarted this off. Basically each blog involved runs a competition of some sort and the point is to give away a book by an Australian author to a lucky winner or a book voucher or something like that. This means not only do I have to come up with the means by which you participate as a reader and I pick a winner but also what you will get if you do win. And it occurs to me that a book loved should be a book shared. And that I have some copies of my own book left. The competition starts: 25th January…
