#callout: looking for unpublished emerging writers

If you are an unpublished ‘emerging’ writer working on a full length manuscript, anthology or collection, I’d like to hear from you for a new ‘work in progress’ series.

Affectionately titled #wip, this new blog series aims to explore the ups and downs of the new writer journey as they work towards writing and/or publishing a full length manuscript of fiction or creative non-fiction.

I’m less interested in whether your venture is ultimately a success, and more intrigued by what happens along the way. To this end I need writers who are happy to come back to me every few months for an update on their progress (or lack thereof).  Whether you are just starting out, struggling with the slush pile or shopping (ie begging) for a publisher, I’d like to hear from you.

The profiles are designed to be intimate and insightful, focused on the writer’s individual experience of the writing life. Each profile will be authored by me in response to a short Q&A process conducted at various points of the manuscript development.

Think of it as the writing equivalent of “Seven Up!”

To participate you need to be:

• Unpublished (in the full length manuscript kind of way)
• Writing Fiction or Creative Non-Fiction
• Willing to respond to this writer’s Q&A every 3-4 months

There are no restrictions on genre or location of the writer, but I would especially love to hear from Australian writers.

If this sounds like your bag and you would like to participate, please send me an email via my contact us form with a few details about yourself. Alternatively, leave a comment below.
