Frequently asked questions
Will you 'use your platform' to protest against X / support Y / join my cause on Z?
I choose my political actions / statements very carefully, make them public rarely, and almost never because I am asked to do so by others. Can you contribute to my anthology / magazine? Not at the moment, unfortunately. I'm working full-time on a new book. Will you write a blurb for my / my author's book? Alas I get way too many requests for this and can't oblige - I volunteer book endorsements only very rarely, and never solicited ones. Will you teach a workshop at my festival / university / school? I do teach, but not very often, and my workshop fees are higher than those listed in the ASA recommended speaking and teaching rates here. Can you read my manuscript / help me get my book published? Sadly no. There are many excellent places for writers to go to improve their skill and chances of publication by improving their work - in Australia, try the Australian Society of Authors or the writers' centre in your state or capital city. Many major publishers now have days of the week during which they are happy to receive unsolicited submissions - check their websites for details. |
