A few months ago I was asked by the Gold Coast Bulletin to come up with a list of writing tips that they could publish in their newspaper. I really wanted to include those tips in a blog post back then too, but the Bulletin asked me to wait until they’d published them first, which is fair enough. I’d pretty much forgotten about it, but this week my wonderful publicist tracked down the link for the whole article that they wrote up on me back in May in the aftermath of Supanova, which means I can now share my tips with you all!

Feel free to share the above tips if you find them helpful at all. And if you want to read the whole article (it’s an entire page, which is so cool!), you can do so by clicking on this link to find a screenshot JPEG of it here: Gold Coast Bulletin. (I’m seriously chuffed that they called me “Queensland’s darling of fantasy writing” – how lovely!)

That’s all for now. I hope the tips come in handy for any fellow writers reading this – whether you’re aspiring, emerging, or seasoned! Be encouraged!
