CURRENT EDITION: The Victorian Writer magazine Children’s publishing is flourishing. Bookshops are heaving under the weight of irresistible offerings, exquisitely illustrated and designed, with punchy, poignant stories and vibrant, quick-witted characters. It’s a great time for writers of books for kids and young adults. There has been a surge in sales in this segment, most notably for middle-grade fiction, driven in large part by adult readers embracing their inner children in defiance of the times. And, although competition is fierce, there are more opportunities for early and emerging writers than ever before through prizes, competitions and online pitching frenzies. |

The Victorian Writer: 2018 Oct-Nov The Emerging IssueWhat is an emerging writer? While Writers Victoria defines an emerging writer as someone who has ‘done a fair amount of writing ... had some short pieces published or been listed for some awards’, other organisations add a long-form published work to the mix. At any rate, there’s some confusion here, so in this issue, we try to pin down this enigmatic and elusive creature. Kate Cantrell unpicks the terminology, Sara Bannister expresses the frustrations of the pre-emerged state and Gabriella Muñoz writes about re-emerging in a new country. |

The Victorian Writer: 2018, Aug-Sep Non-fictional Setting out to do justice to non-fiction with its tenticular reach in thirty-four pages is an impossible task. It is such a various and amorphous genre, encompassing forms such as reference books and educational texts, essays, biography, memoir, true crime, creative and narrative non-fiction, and poetry. |

The Victorian Writer: 2018, Feb-MarLove WritingLet’s face it, writing is a bit of a heartbreaker. There are the swoony highs, for sure, the quickened pulse, the fixation – we wonder, could this be ‘the one’? But let’s not forget the devastating lows, the rejections and the limbo: days, weeks, months spent waiting for inspiration, for time, for publication, recognition, whatever it is we yearn for as writers. Writing is demanding, capricious and elusive. It asks from us dogged commitment and persistence, but makes absolutely no promises in return. Why do we keep coming back for more? |

The Victorian Writer: 2018-19, Dec-JanWriting Each OtherWhen inspiration strikes and the words and ideas are flowing and our worlds are building and our characters are becoming, it can be hard to pull away from the page or screen and ask, ‘Why am I telling this story?’ Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about writing outside lived experience. The debate is complex and can be exhausting. In this issue, we endeavour to shine a light on different perspectives of the debate and look at some of the ways we can approach writing each other. |
