Despite being eight days away, the Write In Your Face Grant Program is still open for submissions (the closing date is the 30th of May). This program aims to help emerging, and aspiring writers to gain recognition through grants of up to $5000. Run by the Express Media and funded by the Literature board of Australia Council (for Arts), they look for individuals aged 30 years or younger (or work with individuals 30 years or younger) whom use language inventively. If you think you fulfil these requirements be sure to download an application form and get writing.
Good luck,

Directed by Lisa Dempster, the Emerging Writers’ Festival is about to go off with style. Running from the 26th of May to the 5th of June, it is run by a collective of professionals within the writing, publishing industries whom hold local and national networks that fulfill the festival’s needs: to educate burgeoning writers about the industry, and promote emerging authors.
With workshops such the Business of Being a Writer that educates individuals about the filing, taxing, and our legalities of the industries; and free plays, and panels, such as the Get Into Genre ones. These Get Into Genre panels range from young adult, to crime fic, enlightening people to the aspects of each genre and how to create a convincing story within that genre.
With many other networking, and helpful sessions, be sure to check our the Event Schedule and sign up!

It’s Thursday, and so I thought I’d introduce myself. I’m Talana, and my posts will focus on writing. Each Thursday, known as Tall Tale Thursdays, I’ll be posting a short piece of writing, writing tips, and anything else related. Without further ado, let’s begin!
