Turning adversity into advantage . . .
Author: gillyflower (add to friends). . . has resulted in using the mill fight for publishing success. Tassie's premier small press magazine, Island, is publishing my essay 'Writing for my life' in the December/January issue, and two pulp mill poems have been accepted for an anthology being published by Fellowship of Australian Writers (Tas) later this year. Success with Island really took me by surprise. I was persuaded to submit this piece by a friend, after I read it at one of our informal writing workshop afternoons, but having sent submissions to Island before, without success, I didn't really hold out much hope. I'm pretty chuffed actually, just quietly.

Well done on cracking Island! That's a real triumph! I shall have to look out for the magazine towards the end of the year. Congratulations on the FAW anthology, too. When does it come out?

Not sure Sue, but the email about final opportunities for corrections came through while I was in Canada, so I'm guessing we'll all soon be notified about the launch. Which will, of course be in Hobart, so no guarantees I can go anyway!
