Journal Acceptance
Just heard that VIM Journal in Melbourne has selected one of my poems for publication in its first edition later this year.
BOOK LAUNCH
I’m launched!
The booklaunch for ‘Lines Dancing’ was on Sunday May 6th.
It was a fun afternoon, with performances from stunningly talented young musicians, poetry readings, and a sumptuous tea. Lots of copies sold and signed, lots of old and new friends nattered with; a good time was had by all.
My first book publishing venture
I’ve had many stories published in magazines and anthologies, but never before had a complete book of my own writing. Lines Dancing is a collection of poems written over the last 40 years. We (my husband Philip and I, just to make me sound like the Queen) chose print-on-demand, to keep costs under control and because between us we have the expertise to make a reasonable job of it. We chose Lulu for a variety of reasons, and so far it has proved to be a good experience. (Just don’t mention shipping charges – 60 copies of our slim volume, printed in Melbourne and posted to us about 50km away, cost a horrendous $66 – AusPost charge should only be $8.65.)
