		<title>Masterclass at Brisbane Writers Festival</title>

This industry seminar will introduce you to agents, publishers and writers and take you on a journey from manuscript development to published author promotion.  It will cover the role of agents in a writer&#8217;s life, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bookish love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read an interesting article (that that predates the iPad) from the Wandering Academic. Throughout, the post references Anne Fadiman&#8217;s celebrated essay where she characterises book lovers into two categories: &#8216;carnal&#8217; and &#8216;courtly&#8217;, a concept that deserves its own post if there hadn&#8217;t already been a million of them. Anyway, I was struck in particular by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Authditor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Author. Editor. I tried coming up with a portmanteau for what I do, but the best I could manage was ‘authditor’ (given that &#8216;auditor&#8217; was already taken). Somehow this unholy Vulcan-mind-meld of roles has not so far completely done my head in. Then again, maybe I’m not the best judge of these things. Being both [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reasons for waiting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, I understand that few people will get the Art of Fighting reference in the title, but so what? The important thing is, progress continues on the frightening volume of work underway. And this is more or less a post to remind myself I&#8217;m still a writer with a blog. Fiction does what it does. [...]]]></description>

		<title>TwitterFEST Preview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow, I will host the second TwitterFEST session for the Emerging Writers Festival. The session today went down remarkably well, despite my turning up right at the end and contributing only by telling everyone that I was late. In fact, it was fast and furious with discussion flying all over the place. I only hope [...]]]></description>

In the meantime, I&#8217;ll be taking part in the Emerging Writers Festival via the jiggery pokery of this [...]]]></description>
