The Victorian Writer: 2018 Oct-Nov 'The Emerging Issue' What 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: 2018-19, Dec-Jan 'Writing Each Other' When 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. |
