  • Review: The Jungle Book

    The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling I found this Papermill Press copy at The Bookman one day, and it was so vividly orange that I just had to buy it. It stands out so much on my bookshelf, it’s actually quite hilarious. I wouldn’t trade it for any other copy. Read: September 4 – September…

  • Review: Emma

    Emma by Jane Austen I, embarrassingly, have two copies of this book. I bought an absolutely beautiful copy (Chiltern Publishing) from The Owl and the Cat Bookery, but then I saw the entire boxed set of Jane Austen works (Arcturus) at Coles. I didn’t want to break up the set, and I don’t want to…

    10 Tips for Writing Captivating Stories

    Capturing a reader’s attention is the goal for many writers. You want them to read and enjoy what you’ve written, but how do you know if you’ve succeeded until the book is out there? Beta readers are the first step, of course. They read your book while you’re still in the editing/rewriting stage, so they…
