Hello Again!
Thank you for joining me this week, today’s post is a follow-on from last week’s post ‘Writing: Getting Started’.
Last week I touched on the fact that some people feel that they need some training in how to write before starting their writing project. I did, and if you would like to as well, then I hope you find the resources below to be of help.
If you are interested in creative writing courses, most registered training organisations (RTOs) offer them. Just do some research on Google and see which one appeals to you. Here is the link to my post about my experience of a creative writing course; please keep in mind, I didn’t go into the course looking to be a writer.
For those of you who are still at an early stage of your writing development, or who prefer to take a local writing course or join a writers’ group, might want to investigate the services of your local state writers’ centre or other writers’ organisations in your area. I know my local library runs a couple of courses aimed at writers.
Australian support for writers:
Australasian Association of Writing Programs
Australian Booksellers Association
Australian Institute of Interpreters and Translators
Australian Literary Agents Association
Australian and New Zealand Society of Indexers
Australian Publishers Association
Institute of Professional Editors
Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance
Overseas organisations that support writers and their interests:
Asia Pacific Writers and Translators Association
Association of Authors Representatives (US)
International Publishers Association
New Zealand Society of Authors (NZ)
The Poetry Society of America (US)
Note from Jenni: I hope you found this post interesting. Next week I will be sharing more information to help writers in the early days of their writing careers. Please follow my blog so you don’t miss out on any upcoming posts.
