@nycmidnight Congrats to F.E. Choe! Well deserved. I was one of the other finalists and was once again really happy with the competition, even without the win. Final round judge feedback was more detailed and insightful than ever. Thanks again, NYC Midnight!

This shocks me! I love Empire: such a passionate insight into the movie-making business. So much there for writers, not just film-goers. I've subscribed continuously for years!

It's been a while since I Twittered, but I just had to shout out to @DanRojas2012 and the rest of the #Kipo musical crew for their phenomenal efforts on the show. My kids were mesmerised. They want more!

@HDemetrios @page_count This is a really brave and important article, Heather. And written with such an engaging flow. More than that, it led me to look up your website and read the excerpt from Little Universes. Hannah's voice is so fragile, yet still lively. I'll be buying a copy. 😊

@JohnBirmingham Thanks for the futures scenario writing class at the ANU on Wednesday. It was a real treat. 😊

[Matthew C Lamb @MatthewCLamb]

@elliemarney @SulariGentill So great to find a fellow editor-as-you-write. It's not just me!😊

[Matthew C Lamb @MatthewCLamb]

I second this. Such necessary candour.

[Matthew C Lamb @MatthewCLamb]

Aaaand... the obligatory panel shot. Special shout out to @NikkiM3 who did a great job (and was findable on Twitter). I really appreciated the frank, uninhibited insights into your writing career. They help those of us still trying to ascend to your lofty heights. #Cbrwritersfest

[Matthew C Lamb @MatthewCLamb]

My one #Cbrwritersfest session this year: "Published and Be Damned". Been looking forward to it. And my first time in the lovely @nlagovau theatre, too. @cbrwritersfest

This is a must watch short video. It's about movie making, but is applicable to any storytelling form. https://t.co/tJYloQMAo8 thanks, @ponysmasher, love your work.

I just saw that your book, #therook, is now a show streaming on Stan! What a tremendous achievement, @DenimAlley - congratulations. It seems like only yesterday you were warning the junior school about the many interpretations of those Caution Elderly People signs. @TheRookSTARZ
