Coming Out Stories Sought
Posted by: Jeannie Barker | CommentsComing Out – Personal stories that will make you smile, laugh, shudder and cry
Gays, lesbians, bisexual and transgender persons are invited to contribute stories from their crucial time of coming out, to be included in an anthology that will raise awareness of this deeply personal time of admitting sexual preference.
Ideally stories would be 300 – 1500 words, maximum length is 3000 words.
Some people may prefer a quote, an anecdote or a full story to share their journey – send them all in. If you have not come out yet and wish to share ‘why not’, also send your words in.
Stories will need to be edited and can be anonymous if you wish. The book length is anticipated to be about 70,000 words.
The aim is for a collaboration of truth and the emotional reaction of yourself, of family and friends during this time.
For more information and to submit your story please contact soniafriedrich@virginbroadband.com.au
Varuna Publisher Fellowships 2010
Posted by: Jeannie Barker | CommentsAward: The Varuna Publisher Fellowships program offers 15 six-night residential fellowships during June 2011. Writers will be selected by Allen & Unwin, Random House Australia, Text, Scribe, University of Queensland Press, Picaro Press and Pan Macmillan Australia.
The two writers selected by each of the publishers (and one standout addition) will be resident at Varuna over the course of three weeks in June 2011. Writers will receive a one-hour consultation with one of Varuna’s writing consultants, and their finished manuscript will be read by a Varuna writing consultant before being sent to the publisher.
Please note: The publisher awarding the residency will not generally have any contact with the writer until the manuscript is submitted in its finished form.
Who should apply: Writers with a major project in any genre of fiction, narrative non-fiction and poetry, at any stage of development. Only writers who are actively contracted to a particular publisher for the submitted work are excluded from applying.
Important dates: Applications are accepted from 1 November 2010 and must be delivered (electronically) by 5pm on 30 November 2010. Shortlisted applicants will be announced on the Varuna website (News & Diary section) 30 January 2011. Final selections will be available on the Varuna website by 30 March 2011.
Costs to applicant: $55 (including GST) per application. Fees cover administrative costs and help sustain this program. Successful applicants contribute $300 towards a 6-night residency at Varuna and a consultation with a Varuna writing consultant.
