Only one writer can win the Valerie Parv Award each year! See details on the right of this page, under "Hot News" .

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. Buy now through Pegasus Book Orphanage

NEW – ‘First Monday Mentoring’ on my blog
On the first Monday each month from February 6, I’ll answer your writing-related questions. Drop by my blog anytime for lots of writing information and a monthly FREE  taste of the MentorXPress experience.


Have keyboard, will travel
Writing has the advantage that it can be done almost anywhere. Next winter I’m off to the Katharine Susannah Prichard Centre in the Perth Hills, Western Australia, where I’ll be the 2012 Established Writer in Residence. As well as pursuing my own projects, I’ll conduct workshops, mentor new writers and participate in the vibrant creative life of the oldest centre of its kind in Australia.

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.
