I'm thrilled to announce that my rural romance manuscript has made the longlist in Queensland Writers Centre's manuscript development program PUBLISHABLE.

Publishable is a program in which we submitted the first fifty pages of our manuscripts, along with a synopsis and answers to other questionnaires. The pages were read to form the longlist. We now undergo further assessment before the shortlist is announced in August.

Congratulations and good luck to the other finalists!

This weekend, I attended GenreCon 2019 hosted by the Queensland Writers Centre with writing buddy Deeanna West. We attended workshops, networked, and I presented on a panel Write to Win.

I'm pleased to announce that I will be appearing at GenreCon 2019 in Brisbane as part of a panel 'Write to Win'. On this panel, I will join other winners and finalists of writing competitions to discuss the benefits of entering your work into competitions and what happens after you win.

Today, I attended The Writer's Plan, a workshop hosted by Queensland Writer's Centre's CEO and romance writer Lori-Jay Ellis. At this workshop, Lori-Jay took us through principles of goal setting in order to effectively manage writing time and complete your novel. This professional development opportunity has helped me realign my goals in order to complete my next novel by the end of the year.

As part of Festival 2018, I participated in a fiction writing workshop facilitated by author Katherine Johnson. ​
