VALERIE PARV

The 2012 Valerie Parv Award opened on April 23 with 80 places available to entrants…and closed 24 hours later with all 80 places filled. I feel for those who missed out. Can’t wait to read the finalists and decided who I’ll mentor for the coming year.

More VPA good news from previous VP Award winner BARBARA JEFFCOTT GERIS who’ll be writing as Barbara De Leo for Entangled Publishing, the latest VPA winner with her name in lights.

For the many others seeking my help, I’ve created MentorXPress, a short mentoring experience to kick start your book. I read up to 50 pages of manuscript and a 2-page synopsis in any romance or related genre, give you detailed written feedback and a phone consultation to discuss your work.

The package costs AUD$430 incl GST.

In October 2012 I travel further afield to Daku Resort in Savusavu, Fiji, to conduct a week-long writing retreat in a romantic tropical setting. The resort specializes in creative workshops where you're part of a small group enjoying individual attention while we share the secrets of the writing craft. In the afternoons you can choose to continue your writing, take rewarding cultural excursions, explore Fiji’s beautiful coral reefs, have a spa massage, or read by the pool.

Why not plan to join me in Fiji? It’s a rare chance to talk about your writing, have your questions answered and be guided to the next level, away from everyday distractions.
