Workshops

I am available for workshops. I specialise in speculative fiction, non-fiction, poetry and family research. Australian Society of Authors (ASA) rates apply. Our voices count.

I am a trained and accomplished Professional Writing & Editing Diploma Graduate who has spent several years developing skills in small publishing. I am also a trained and experienced English and Humanities teacher, so my skills are relevant to education, which enhances my ability to write and produce appropriate texts.

Note: I have written, designed and illustrated the following texts.  The patent began with my personal poetry collection, which I developed to include the Mind, Body, Soul trilogy, based on an exploration of philosophy and strategies. I have also included my autobiographical travel articles in Chrysalis. I have designed my own covers and not included the original professionally designed cover though this exemplary cover may be used at a later date. Each design I have thus far incorporated is exclusively owned by me. I have included leased illustrations in these covers.

Family History (Sacral Culture patent continued. I am intending to complete revision to these beautifully illustrated texts next year. They are private texts at present.)

My family histories are researched texts, so contain not only my own discussion and analysis of existing or researched history, but also relevant interviews and extracts.  I am the sole creator and designer of the entire texts, but have included important and relevant historical data.

Rights reversion

Pasquale’s Gift right reverted to me from the original Australian publisher years ago.  I own the title and am considered ‘sole creator.’ I have permission to publish and sell author copies from the original publisher, Thomas Nelson.

Galaxy Trotters rights have, of course reverted to me, from Sidhartha publishers. I have copies of Galaxy Trotters available in boxes after purchasing them from the warehouse where I stored them, prior to Dennis Jones closure. I have approximately an estimated 500 books for sale and Galaxy Trotters received rave reviews.

Other

Fantastic Dragons Anthology: technically I own the rights to this anthology as well and worked for myself as a sole trader while developing and designing this anthology over approximately seven months. While in a leading literacy position, I applied for a student youth arts grant from Northern Grampians for a publication of student writing.  My position as leading literacy finished, due to a shortfall in funding, so I fulfilled my commitment to the school by working as a sole trader and designing and illustrating the student short stories without pay. The  entire proceeds of the grant covered half the cost of printing. I launched the anthology in the hall with the students and community. The anthology is now on Google Play and no royalties have been received by me, the only person entitled to royalties. I am happy to donate if and when anthology sales soar and I receive payment. I have discovered Fantastic Dragons is a very effective classroom text.
