What a great site. I think I could have used you before I wrote my first book, Big Backpack–Little World. Now I will get some excellent advise while trying to write about my life in Alaska during the 60-70’s. It is still in the brain as to write it as fiction or the true life story. It seems to me that fiction is a much bigger seller, but I have a hard time not making it factual. Any advice?

Hello Sue, thank you for reading “My Treasure” it’s easy to write from the heart and from what you know.
I was hoping I could impose upon you to take a look at my Chapter by chapter short story “Earl and babe” and give me some honest feed back.
I have received positive feed back from family but often time critical feedback is more needful for growth and improvement.
Here’s the web page. http://thewhitekar.wordpress.com/2012/02/24/earl-and-babe-chapter-1-4/
Thank you,
Dwight
PS: I see you’re teaching inmates? If I have to go to prison for help….well ok
Hi sue, I found your site while checking out the stingybarkstories competitions. I am Irish but have been living in NSW Australia for many years. I am keen to enter Irish short story and memoir competitions. Do any of these competitions accept submissions from Australian writers?
I find your writing tips to be very helpful. Keep up the good work.Regards Vince Morrison
Hi Vince,
You really need to check the T&Cs in the specific comps but I’ve found that most Irish ones are open to both ‘Irish residents’ and ‘Irish citizens’ regardless of place of domicile. Some are open to international writers.
Sue, thanks for following “Inter States,” my scenario novel set in 2040. The next installment is coming soon, and I’ll be sending out notifications via email, Facebook, WordPress, and Wikispaces. Stay tuned. And please don’t hesitate to tell anyone you think might be interested. This is a strictly viral, global, non-commercial, peer-to-peer effort. – Ralph (see http://interstates2040.wikispaces.com)
It is you! I’m in Dunmore East Powers Pub and the name Healy came up in conversation and I thought of you and started Googling. It’s great to see you’ve done really well. Dunmore is a great place for memories about good old times. I’m in Edinburgh for the last 20 years so only get back here once or twice a year. I come back for the Guinness. Your 17 years of age photo was the one that confirmed it was you! It’s good to see you. Email me. Billy
hello Billy, nice to hear from you after all of these years. I’m glad you are well and settled into life in Edinburgh (beautiful place). Enjoy your time in Dunmore. I was there last week. I’m in Italy presently. Best, Sue.
