Getting Published in Australia

mccardey · Mar 11, 2013

Author Natasha Lester, who is fast becoming an Australian Fave in reading circles, (as in: '...this novel is as luminous and delicate, clean and alive as the best of Sonya Hartnett or Amy Witting.' says The Age) has just put together a terrific page of Australian publishing resources on her blog. No, I don't know her, though I love her writing. But really, what a generous thing to do! So I thought I'd link to it here.

ETA: Her books are here, if you want to check them out.

That's brilliant Mccardey, the only things I've found relating to Oz are either authors who have US agents or some dead end pages saying this agent is no longer accepting new authors.
But I am possibly getting a little ahead of myself by even looking at this. I will file it away for when I actually have a completed manuscript to submit. Sigh. Why is it so hard to write it down? It's so awesome in my head...

It's a really good blog to follow - she keeps it updated, and very current.

Bella - I know! Why can't it just write itself once we've done all the thinking? :rant:

My thoughts exactly. Surely there's an app for that.
