EXCITING NEWS

/ Edwina Shaw / 5 Comments

Well, the year is certainly starting with some good omens writing-wise. My story “Broken” is available online at http://www.asialiteraryreview.com/web/article/en/132>. Thanks to Chris and Tim at Asia Literary Review, a quality publication with fascinating stories, essays,  poetry and reportage from our side of the world. Also exciting is the news that an excerpt from my story” The Raft” (itself an excerpt from my forthcoming novella Thrill Seekers) is going to be published in the QLD newspaper The Courier Mail tomorrow. This feels like a huge milestone for me. Some recognition in my home town. Thanks to Erica and Julianne at Griffith REVIEW for making it possible and helping me achieve a long held goal. Seems like my new year tree is flowering already. Thanks to you all for your ongoing support.

Lots of love,

Edwina

GRIFFITH REVIEW FICTION SPECIAL

/ Edwina Shaw / 1 Comment

I’m excited. Griffith REVIEW has just asked me to read from my story “The Raft” at their Christmas party. That’s on the 10th of December, so if you’re in Brisbane, please come along to Avid Reader book shop in West End on the night. I’d love to see you.
“The Raft” is in the latest issue of Griffith REVIEW. It’s their summer fiction special which has lots of famous writers including Frank Moorhouse, Kate Grenville, Nikki Gemmel, Rodney Hall, Will Elliot, Krissy Kneen, many others, and me! It’s a great read. I’m really enjoying dipping into it at bedtime. Love the photo essay too.
“The Raft” is an excerpt from Thrill Seekers which WILL be out in the new year, even if I have to fly over to England and print it out myself!
