WriteFest

Publisher/writer interviews

Associate Publisher Jo Butler (Fourth Estate) from Harper Collins Publishers Australia will be attending the Bundaberg writers’ festival, WriteFest, on May 18 and conducting publisher/writer interviews.

Writers are required to submit the first 50 pages (in industry-standard format) of their manuscript, together with a two-page single-line-spaced synopsis and covering letter addressed to either editor outlining details of writing experience and publishing history (if any).

Submissions must be from a completed manuscript ready for submission to a publisher – first drafts are not acceptable.

The publisher will select those writers she will interview, and those writers must be attending WriteFest.

Each submission must be accompanied by an entry fee of $25. This entry fee is non-refundable but will be taken off the entry fee to the WriteFest workshops ($75) or masterclass ($95), or combined two days of workshops and masterclass ($145).

Submissions and entry fee can be posted to the Bundaberg Writers’ Club Inc, PO Box 1486,

Bundaberg Qld 4670.

Submissions may also be emailed to novels@sandycurtis.com provided the entry fee,

or a receipt for a direct deposit to the Bundaberg Writers Club Inc is posted in.

The Club’s bank details are Wide Bay Australia Ltd, BSB 656400, Account No. 104337281

Successful applicants will be notified at least two weeks before the event.

As reading and assessing the submissions will take some time, we would appreciate

writers submitting as early as possible.

All submissions must be received by Monday 1^st April 2013.

Any queries should be made to novels@sandycurtis.com or PO Box 1486, Bundaberg Qld 4670.
